I've been making cards for this months Cards for a Cause and trying to learn some new techniques and incorporate challenges as well.
I used the Clean and Simple sketch by Jan for the layout of the card and stitched around the edges of the shaving cream panel which was a new technique for me. I've had a sewing machine for years but always felt it was just for fabric. Silly me! I had so much fun sewing paper, I can't wait to sew some more!!
SU's Whisper White base; shaving cream panel created with Distress Inks and sewn onto SU's Midnight Muse panel. Flower stamp is from SU's Best Blossoms which was stamped on various MME's dp. Fussy cut, sponged edges and added some pearls. TFL.

Wow! I absolutely love that shaving cream panel! The whole card is so well proportioned and the flowers are beautiful. Glad you tried out your machine on cards.
