I was so excited to see Sandra as our Featured Stamper this week- I have have always enjoyed her gallery, and many unique styles! Each card is a delight! I chose this one to case this week:
I kept the same laylout and changed the rest. I am most excited about the stitching, and Sandra's card got me going on learning how to thread my machine!
Kokirose is one of the people I admire here, and her cards are so touching, her stitchery is something to see! When Patricia was here on a visit, my MIL (bless her heart!) gave me her sewing machine, and I just figured out how to thread it this morning after seeing Sandra's card! (Thanks Bubba)
The main image is from Rubber Romance and is watercolored. I used a technique from Sandra's gallery by sponging around the images, which she does so well! The cake has a coat of CE to make it shine, and the bottom layer has coffee grounds (which is really choclate shavings- isn't that perfect for cherry cheesecake?) Yum!
Enjoy your day Sandra and thank you for your inspiring work!
Thanks for looking!
P.S. Note to the Twisted Sistah's: Yes, I said this is cherry cheesescake just to get it into our TSC challenge from Fri to make a fruit card, and my border punch is inside! Yay, I did one! (Thanks Linda!) XXOO

Wowee Sistah! This card looked great as a thumbnail in the TSC. When I made it big and saw that stitching I was, well - extremely impressed!!! I would have sew my fingers together. Really - your first time??? Oh the pressure will be on now if this is what you produced the first time!
I always love what you do to you images and this is no exception. What a great paper combo and adorable spoons too!
You got it goin' on Sistah!!!
