I combined both challenges today - the CAS challenge was to be inspired by this apron and the Try a New Technique challenge was to use stitching - real or faux.
Instead of a card - I made a tag today.
I've had this wonderful apron from Lockhart stamps for ages and it hasn't seen ink yet - so today was the perfect day!
I paper pieced 2 different papers on it. I quickly stitched around the edges of the tag, stamped the sentiments and grid from Waltzingmouse Stamps (don't the grids look like cooling racks?!)
I sponged the edges and added the wrinkled seam tape. This will get attached to a fresh baked gift!

This is a wonderful tag! I have several of Karen Lockhart's stamps and love them all. Haven't seen this one, but it is so perfect for this challenge. You did a great job with the coloring and paper piecing!
What an adorable tag, Julia! I especially love the paper piecing. Great colors. We are getting back to our old schedule. It seems we have been close in the gallery several times lately!
