Sew Special

BASE CARD

Cut a piece of dark purple card stock measuring 7" x 10", score it at 5", and fold.

MATS

Cut a piece of pink card stock measuring 4 7/8" x 6 7/8". Cut a piece of fabric about 4 1/4" x 6 1/4". Use the Sew Easy tool to punch holes through the paper about a 1/2" from the edge. Attach the fabric to the pink mat stitching through the holes in the pink mat, and using tape to anchor the thread to the back of the mat. Tie a double-loop bow onto a strip of ribbon, and mount it around the mat. Mount the mat onto the front of the card.

IMAGE

Stamp the sewing machine using black ink on white paper. Color with COPICS and SPICA pens. I used these colors:

• Sewing Machine: RV0000, RV63, RV66
• Presser Foot: C00, C3
• Spool: E33
• Thread: SPICA Pink
• Daisies: RV69, SPICA Orange
• Tulips: Y02
• Leaves: YG95, 99

Mount on the front of the card using foam squares.

SENTIMENT

Stamp the sentiment on white paper using dark purple ink. Punch out with a 1 3/8" circle punch. Punch a scalloped circle from pink card stock. Glue the sentiment onto the scalloped circle. Mount on the front of the card using foam squares.
