                                        I hope you enjoy my new card.  I love to sew and I love Christmas,
what better than to combine the two.

                The wonderful sewing machine stamp item 14718 and thimble stamp  item 16135  are both from Viva las Vegastamps!

and the manniquen is a Tim Holtz stamp

I found this lacy print paper in my stash.  I added a few measuring tape stickers and Rub ons which are by Heide Grace.  I than stamped the sewing machine stamp over a piece I had previously stamped with a stitched outline.  I added the manniquin, the thread spools and the thimble. adhearing all pieces with scotch double sided foam tape.  I cut out leaves from a third piece of paper (which I also used as my backing), attached buttons for berries and a small scissor brad.

14th Festive Friday CHIRSTMAS CARD blog hop

I decided to try a distressed look this time.  The santa stamp is by a company named Anita's.  I used Stazon ink for the Santa and the face is done with colored pencils.  The ink I used in the distressing is of course Tim Holtz distressed ink, Antique Paper.

Roses, Roses everywhere

You will see I am ROSE crazy!!

These roses have been made from, Wendy Vechi's, Studio 490 rubber stamps.  This rose was designed by Tim Holtz.

I taught myself how to put roses on long stems

and now have bouquets all over my home....They always stay fresh!

You don't even know how many roses are in this wreath

I know I don't

How about a custom Wedding Bouquet

                                Or a pretty nosegay

    and a Merry Christmas bouquet
