Welcome to another JustRite Friday Challenge! Sewing on papercrafting projects is a big trend right now so for this week's challenge, we want see how sewing can make your projects Sew Rite! Make any kind of project with a sewing theme or using machine, hand or faux stitching on your project, along with any of your JustRite stamps. You could also use fabric, buttons, felt, quilting, embroidery thread, lace, etc.
My sample today uses quite a few of those elements, one being JustRite's fabulous new Stitched With Love stamp set. I also used threaded buttons, twill tape (originally developed for use with sewing fabrics) and machine zig-zag stitching on the left side of the scalloped kraft piece of cardstock.
I stamped two of the centers from Stitched With Love with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, die cut them with Spellbinders Classic Square Nestabilities, and then colored them with the Copic markers listed below in my supply list. A tiny real button adorns the flower center on the pin cushion. Copic's Silver Atyou Spica glitter pen makes the needles and pins shimmer like they are real (hopefully you can see that by clicking on the photo for a larger view)! Spellbinder's Long Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities die was used to frame the stamped images.
CHALLENGE RULES:
