For my card, I chose to let my sewing machine "drive" on this one. This is one of my favorite ways to sew on cards -- because you can't get it wrong! I figured out what I wanted to use as my base for my card and my mat. I then put my paper through my sewing machine and only minimally guided it through. I love the curves that are just naturally created! Looks a bit funky!
The rest is pretty simple. I used one of Gina K's new stamp sets called Comfort and Peace. The image was created by just coloring the back with markers and "huffing" before I stamped. The circle and scalloped circle were created thanks to my Nestabilities dies. After I adhered it to my mat, I just trimmed it up so that I only used a portion of the circle. Before I matted it all up, I used a slot punch (Stampin' Up) to string my ribbon through and added a faux brad (it's acutally a hot fix nail head). That's pretty much it.
