I'm sew happy with the way this card worked out! I think my mojo is back!
I am not much of a sewer (translate that to sewing on a button is pushing the limit of my skills) but I love all the sewing themed cards that I have seen on the blogs and forums lately. Of course I am partial to Sew Pretty from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.
I used the buttons from Sew Pretty to decorate the inside of the card too. (Sorry, I just noticed a little bit of the pop dot sticking out. I don't have time to retake the photo but I did fix it up.)
Updated 5-21-10: I am so excited. My card got a mention for the Just Us Girls color challenge!
Please take a moment to see what the rest of the DT is up to.
