Hi all,
Well, I have to say this is the hardest one so far for me. Trying to stitch straight, trying to hand stitch that button and bow on (I did put glue on the backside to make sure it does not pull through but as we were allowed adhesives except for the card top, I figured that was ok. I also used adhesive to put my card front on the base). Beside sewing the label and ribbon on (not straight), I also used some clipolas. My bg EF was a pattern from We R Memory Keepers (the folder is 6 X 6).

Thanks for looking!

Wow, fabulous work Robin! Whatever about straight lines (and I still struggle with the fact that paper has so much less "give" and forgiveness than fabric), sewing an oval is really hard and you rocked it. I love those tiny little clips on the sentiment, and your floral spray is so beautiful. It's so light and airy, the sentiment fits perfectly. Thank you for playing along and Holding It Together.

I just love the coloring and colors on the vase of flowers....just stunning. Your sewing looks amazing to me. Any time I have tried stitching the paper tears. Pinned and faved.

I admire all your stitching to hold everything together, Robin......that would be beyond me! Your floral focal image is beautifully colored in your signature way. A lovely card.

Beautiful card Robin..your coloring is incredible! I have to say you did an amazing job on the stitching..especially around that oval..that must have been hard.
