This is my last submission for the DTGD10 Challenges - yes, all 33 are complete at 11:30pm on August 1st - YIPPEE!!!!
Thankfully I was able to take advantage of combining challenges - and was also able to take a couple of days off work (for personal errands/stuff), which gave me extra time to work on all these FANTASTIC projects. Thank you Edna for the invitation to play - and thank you to all the Dirty Girls for these great challenges.
This card is for seven DTGD10 challenges:
DTGD10kittie747 Lost & Found
DTGD10gbedwright Strut Your Stuff
DTGD10notimetostamp Passionate for Patterns
DTGD10debdeb All Stitched Up
DTGD10melmel How Does Your Garden Grow
DTGD10tayloredexpressions Sketch
DTGD10joanervin Orange You Wonderful
This card was primarily inspired by the Tayloredexpressions sketch, Orange you wonderful and All Stitched Up challenges - and got me to pull out the sewing machine my mom gave me last year!! It had never been taken out of the box. So out it came for this challenge!! I read the instructions (have sewed before), got out some white thread, filled the bobbin, tested the tension and zigzag stitches, and here is the first product!
This card uses three different DPs, lots of sewing, a vintage gold metal button, lots of gold pearls, and lots of sewing. Thanks for looking!

Audrey, this is stunning. It says you uploaded on the 1st. Where was I?! All the details on this card is fabulous. I always admire those who stitch their cards. You see I am one who hates to sew :( Again, just beautiful.

Thud! You really must do a video on your stitching techniques. I had to pick myself off the floor first to favorite this. But I don't think I can CASE it! TFS
