I went for an atypical card for me, given the challenge.
I decided it was time to use a magazine freebie stamp - I stamped it twice so that I could cut out and piece the thimble and the button (glossy accents on the button). I pierced along the stitching line that went to the needle, and stitched along it with back stitch. Matted it on black, then added to some suitably sewing-themed paper, and added a little piece of lace to finish it off.

This is the second time this week that I have not recognised your work Sabrina. First there was a CAS card and now a CAS insert and Cosmo Cricket DP (one of my favs BTW). You make EVERY style extra special, everything about YOU is extra special.

Sabrina, I love the filagree like path of your thread and that cute floral background along with the lace diagonal embellishment- what a wonderful card for the challenge

This is "SEW" cute....such a fun idea do actually do stitching on this as well, and the glossy button adds fun shiny color along with a piece of sewers lace to finish it...a perfect card for a fellow sewer friend...TFs..:0)
