For today's F4A70 Free for All Challenge: Stripes!
This took a little longer than I would have liked (the hand stitching took a while) but I really love how it turned out! My striped background paper is from a new favorite: Gertie Papers from the Stella and Rose Collection by My MindÂ’s Eye.
The retro sewing machine is a rub-on from Stampin' Up! I printed the S-E-W letters with my computer using a free font I downloaded from Creating Keepsakes.
Thanks for looking!

You sure know how to put a themed card together Emzi. This took so much thought and care put into it and it really shows. Maybe I'll handstitch and Benzi will think I'm really using a sewing machine. I'm just in love with this one!! TFS!

Emily what a great card! Your idea, the layout and execution, that paper, all of those cool buttons and trim...and that outrageously gorgeous sewing!! There is not a detail on this that isn't just perfect! Oh and those pinz...I'm thinking that Debzi has some competition in the genius department You rock!
