For my card I used my new Tim Holtz ( TH) Haberdashery set,,, LOVE IT !! I started with a base kraft card and used red card for layering. The paper is from a TH Vintage Shabby paper pack, I inked all the edges with Vintage photo and tea Dye inks. I used a EK Success Binding Edge border punch then distressed using a Paper Distresser and sewed around the edges on my machine. I used various stamps from the set, the mannequin, needle book ( which I actually made into a needle book, and a spool, all these were coloured with distress ink. The flower is made using a TH Tattered Florals die, grungepaper and coloured with Barn Door ink, I stuck a few pins in the top of that but they’re not very visible ! I also used a piece of TH Ruler Ribbon and a few Vintage buttons to finish.
