You're Sew Special!

Posted on 00:01 by Unknown

Sew, here's the whole card from yesterday's post:

1 Hero Arts Sew Crafty window card mel stampz 580px

The fabric is just a cut piece of patterned paper
and I used a little roll of paper to support the curve of it.
(It's hidden underneath):

2 roll of paper to support 'fabric'

and here's the inside of the card:

stamped in yellow on yellow cardstock.

Have you checked out A Blog Named Hero yet?
It's a challenge blog, created by Linda and Mary Dawn.

Today's card is for their window challenge:


(Create a card with a window on it
or through it -- closes Apr 25 at midnight)

Continuing in the spirit of Earth Day,
this card has a bit of hoarding thrown in...

The window is dressed with a bit of the backing from these
E.K. Success Flora & Fauna vellum border stickers:



I was playing around with adding a quick bit of silver leafing
to the back of the adhesive borders and the hoard'o'saurus
in me couldn't bear to throw the backing in the garbage...

Left: the original vellum border sticker, left as is.
Middle: with silver leaf added to the adhesive back.
Right: the backing with Gesso pained on it & distressed

(Or if you don't want to use the backing itself on a project,
they make fabulous stencils instead).

The matching envelope was lined
in about 2o seconds:

I used this Hero Arts Sew Crafty digi set:


I altered the original full colour
image that came with the set...

make coloured image into an outline image

Then printed, coloured, and cut out the sewing machine.
I added thread and some doodling to complete the image (where
I had cut away the thread bits from the original image):

6x6 patterned paper pack:


and this set of printables...

I hope the view from your window
is a happy one!


P.S. Full Disclosure: I received the E.K. Success border stickers for free,
(but not as payment for promotion just to do whatever with). :-)
