Less is More gets sketchy

Hello again ,

I know it's a bit of a post overload at the moment but I'll be absent at the other end of the week so I'm making up for that fact :)

This card is for 'Less is More' this week , Chrissie and Mandi have given us a sketch to work from , after last weeks Monogram challenge I think we are more comfortable with this judging by number of entries so far



I remembered this lasting impressions stencil I have and I've used my lovely but depleting stash of LI card stock , oh I wish they still made it and sold it over here .

My new sewing machine has been in use again, a wonderful birthday pressie ... thanks Mum and Dad .
As you can see the lines are a little straighter this time compared to my previous card .... please note I will try not to sew everything within an inch of it's life from now on, but it's a technique I luuurve  so be warned :)

I hope this is ok as an interpretation of the sketch Mandi and Chrissie ??

 
Well we didn't get the promised thunder storm last night but it's certainly arrived today and bought fresher temperatures with it which is a welcome relief ..... sorry to be a party poop'er but I can't function in extreme heat :)


I'm off now to visit other Limettes and see what they've created , I hope to get round as many as possible before we are away uni visiting again :)

Thanks for your time today X

  21. This card is so cute Jenny, I just love bunny rabbits.
    yep, sewing on cards can be addictive, you must be really happy with your new machine. I can't function in the heat anymore either and I am actually enjoying the winter

  38. Me again :o) Re the blocks - I've got the largest rock-a-blocks but they're not big enough for my (Penny Black) background stamps. Could really do with something curved though - tried a big shot plate as someone suggested but struggle to get a good impression. Lisa x

  39. I know you're going to think I'm mad but I think wonky sewing lines look much better then true straight lines. It gives the card character and yours has plenty of it
