I used an image from our sponsor for January - Stitchy Bear Designs.I colored her in shades of grey using Promarkers and fussy cut her. I attached to a kraft background which I embossed using an embossing folder from Tiddly Inks that came free with a magazine just recently. I added some white ink on top of the pattern and on the edges to give it a bit of an aged and softer look. I gave the oval with embossed sentiment the same treatment. I made a scene using a fence die from Marianne, heart swirls from Magnolia and some punched butterflies. Machine stitching around the edges.
This card is also for:
