Discovery at Sea

Photo Details

Poster: glowbug

Hi everyone! Today's WT426 is a fun one! We are to discover something new, try a new technique, process, material, in honor of Self Discovery month!

Since we are playing or Discovering like Christopher Columbus, I thought a ship would be appropriate.

My discovery I sort of happened upon by accident when I wanted to sew on my card and my sewing machine was giving me fits. Instead of using my machine for sewing, I used it for piercing instead. (This is the first time I tried this but I think it turned out pretty nice and I will try it again.)

For my card I used: Fishing and The Waves on the Sea from Our Daily Bread Designs. The dp I used is some new My Mind's Eye paper.

Thanks for looking!!

Your sewing turned out to be a very creative experiment! I love how lovely accent it gave your gorgeous card. I haven't tried piercing by machine (usually do it by hand) but I think I will give it a go! Thanks for sharing your lovely card and the inspiration.

Your piercing is great, and the stitched ribbon complements it nicely. I like the colors on your nautical card.

wonderful card Chris, great technique... I've used this technique before and it is sad I don't use my machine more often... You've done a fabulous job with your machine piercing this morning.
