Still Sewing

I have carried on with the sewing theme and tried circles this time. I love the effect it has given. I can't believe I had all these templates hidden away without being used. If you haven't tried it before then give it a go. The circles are on the background paper for the next canvas will post a picture of it when its finished.

Sewing

I decided to have a look at what I had hidden away in the craft room today to try to get some ideas and found some sewing templates from Bazzill Basics Paper. I used part of one to join the circle of card to the background paper of this canvas and I am very pleased with the end result. After pricking the part of the pattern I wanted directly onto the paper and card I have used normal black thread doubled and followed the dots using back stitch. It does take time but well worth it.

Stamp Something

Over at Stamp Something the challenge this week is just to stamp something. I have used one of my new stamps that came this morning from Elzybells.

Paper take Weekly Challenge

Over at Papertake Weekly they have asked us to make a yellow card for Children In need. These cards can then be used for Quick Cards Made Easy who are attempting to break the record for the worlds biggest card. This is my card and will be posting it later. All the details are on the Papertake Weekly blog.

Another small canvas.

This is the second canvas I have made using the 15cmx15cm size. I have used the orange and yellow ribbons again as they are such lovely bright colours. I have added another 9cmx9cm black and white photo to show how it would look. The ribbons are tied around a lolly stick and then with using some invisable thread I have sewn it to the paper. As it is a box style canvas it is easy to hang on the wall.

Small canvas

I have found a place that sells a smaller size canvas and this is the first one. It measures 15cmx15cm and I have added a picture 9x9cm to show how it could look. This along with others will be on sale in My Shop in the next few days.
