A coworker of my daughter asked for a bridal card for her daughter. This LOTV stamp was so fun to do. It's colored with copic and pencils. The top half of the kids were fussy cut so that I could position their hands around the rope. Backgrounds were done with distress inks and gesso and stamped lightly with LOTV corners. Made my crinkle ribbon with distress inks, wetting it and squishing it all up. I then stamped a Denami Designs stamp on ink jet acetate. I pierced the acetate to make a sewing template, then placed it on the card and pierced. I strung Czech delica glass beads to fit each segment, then went back through the sewing holes to couch the string to the card (stitch over the strung beads in each hole). This was easy to do after the first two hours of figuring out how to do it (grin). Missed this challenge last week but definitely wanted to try it. Hand stitched all panels by using my needlepoint canvas to punch holes.
Thanks for looking.

Another beauty. How did I miss your gallery? Only your attention to detail and skill at coloring and sewing is so far beyond me this is all eye candy and not for casing! . You really do have a gift.
