Thanks Stef and Miss M for the great IC site today. I chose this one for my inspiration........details....
On white cs I stamped itty bitty bgs. for the sand look, then I dry embossed the tiny feet. Sponged some color on them and then added some shading with acrylic paint.
Tried out my new craft Janome sewing machine. By the looks here, I need more practice. I have a heck of a time with the tension. Can't remember which way to go. Anne, I need help!
Added some eyelets since they were still out from yesterday. Made a bow with the bow easy and stuck it on.
Layered with a reddish cs then put on a black card.
This one was a rush, so please over look all the irregularities!
LOL .......TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Look, I took the picture out side....on the fence. Didn't even have to dress up....or even dress. Still in my sleeping stuff. Plus, the neighbors can't see me!

I see you watched the tutorial you sent ME on how to get your sewing machine out of the box!!! Great job!! I think your stitching is great...not sure what you are talking about. What do you mean tension. Is that something else I have to learn before I can sew on my cards. Oh my, I am getting nervous.
You nailed the inspiration once again. Did you draw the feet. your background looks just like sand. great card, sis. tfs.
hugs,

Awww cute baby feet! Love that background with the itty bitty! I will tell you that your sewing is better than mine on a card. Want proof...never is there have been a sewn on card in my gallery. LOL

Awww, Mut Nut, love those sweet feet! It looks perfect to me ... good luck with the sewing machine. Usually the higher the number, the higher the tension. But I'm not familiar with that particular machine.

OMG, I'm overwhelmed with your soft and so pretty card. is something wrong? For someone that just took the machine out of the box, you did right good on this one, sister. I just love this card. Oh, BTW, what's that thing on the top? Is that an embellishment. For starters, your tension should be already factory set, but if not, move the dial to 3 and you should find it makes a huge difference.
