Margaux is painting

margaux-is-painting-1-diane-zechman.jpgLast night I got my sewing machine out and did a little stitching.  It’s been a while since I’ve done that!  I seem to go in spurts so you will probably see a few stitched cards before I put it away again.  On this one I used the Sarah Kay stamp called Margaux is Painting.  She is such a cutie creating on her easel!  Once again I colored her with the Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. 

This card is larger than I normally make.  I found a pack of 5×7 cards stashed away in my drawer.  The pretty designer paper is by The Paper Company and I hated to turn over such a large chunk of it to the plain side so I turned the top corner down a bit.  At least you can see a tiny bit of the pattern on that piece.  LOL.  The ribbons were a gift from my friend Tracy (thanks, Tracy- I finally used some!).  The pink heart is a Sizzix die and it’s hard to see but I embossed it with tiny hearts (Cuttlebug). 

I hope your Monday is a good one!  Check back in a day or two….I have another Sock Monkey card that I will share.  :0)

    I love this! I have to learn to sew on my cards better. Yours is just beautiful. :)

    This is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, Diane!! The stitching is perfect with this image! (I kind of laughed about the turned down corner. I totally agree that it’s hard to use the plain side when you also like the print. It just feels “wrong.”) LOVE your card!

    Hello. I just LOVE your cards! I actually just discovered the Sarah Kay stamps recently and have become obsessed with finding them. Do you know where I can order them? Everywhere I look they’re either sold out or not sold/shipped to the US. If you could please let me know how I can get my hands on them I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
