…well actually I sealed it with a couple strips of snail down the center (a little tip from Jeanne) and then I SEWED it! So this is my first attempt, other then my play pieces, but this is my official sewed on card.
Stamp Set: A Kiss for Chloe – I got this adorable set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, Korin asked me to be the Guest Designer for them for the month of January, so watch for some fun stuff coming your way.
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Raspberry Tart, Gina K Luxury cardstock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo, Copics
Misc: SEWING MACHINE!!!!!, Top Note die, pretties half back pearls, gel pen
I am still getting the touch down for the copics and you are probably sick of hearing me say that, I guess I just feel the need to apologize for when the colors are not exactly what my brain thinks it will look like. I get a chuckle when I see other blogs where the girls lay out the markers they use, I swear I have them all on the table by the time I am done.
But I really had fun with the sewing, I practiced on some cardstock and I felt more comfortable doing the zig zag stitch the first time out. I figured it would not show how crooked I am this way. I did not feel comfortable zig zagging so it looked like I was actually sewing the papers together, so I just did it on the DSP. Eric watched me do it and he said "you are not very good at it" well there ya go! Guess I won't be making him a shirt. Jeff kept coming out to my studio today and he would say "have you started my shirt yet?" the next time he would say "I take a large" what a nut!
I want to thank all of you for emailing me or commenting to find out if I am walking and I won't lie, I am failing, Jeff is off work and I swear my whole routine is shot with him home, so keep asking and eventually the answer will be YES! Cause he goes back to work next week! I have been behaving with my food so at least that hopefully will help. (as I listen to Oprah Winfrey and they are talking about food…)
Have a great Wednesday, OMG! it will be New Years Eve!!!
Thanks for stopping in!
Hugs, Di
I love your card!!! And you did a wonderful job in coloring the images. I have been wanting to buy copics for a while; so, I guess I will be saving my pennies till I can buy a few. I WANT TO COLOR LIKE YOU, and I love to see your watercoloring also.
P.S. and good work on your sewing 🙂
Again, another amazing card. I love your cards Di, you inspire me. I do however want to know how you did the little cutting on the big shot piece.

Absolutely adorable! Can't wait to see what you come up with as Guest Designer on SnS!
Great sewing job, Diana! I've really got to start sewing on my cards too … bought the machine but I've not used it in years.
Thank you for inspiring me!
Great job with the sewing. Every time I touch a sewing machine something goes wrong. Beautiful card!
Super cute sewing! Happy New Year!
Hugs,
Elizabeth
It looks like you got the tension set perfectly. And I am envious of your stamping ROOM!! I have to use a stamping LAP!
My sewing machine is 40 years old and in a beautiful cabinet that is TOO much trouble to set up for a card. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Adorable! Fabulous sewing!
Great sticthing Diana; love the look of the zig zag stitch. Very pretty cards.
Diana- Great sewing job.
Love the cards!!!
