Sew Special ...

Hi there ...
I do hope you are all well ... I know that there have been snowstorms across the USA ... a cyclone in Australia ... and many other places are in a state of unrest ... so I am thinking about you all and wishing you well ... I also want to thank you all for your visits and comments ... I truly appreciate each and everyone and today I have a card to share ... I made this with you in mind ...  for the challenge at CR84FN ... this is the lovely rich colour scheme ... 



... and this is my card ...


Beautiful Tim Holtz DP ... which I also stamped on in brown and red inks using my stamps from Crafty Secrets ... 


I also stamped and fussy cut a red lace border from the same stamp set and added a cream lace border on top 


The tag was from my stash and I stitched some turquoise buttons on to blend with the red ...
That little sparkly star was an earring ... I just cut off the back and glued it down ... a TIP ... when I use earrings that are for pierced ears ... I keep the little stud that slides on behind the ear ... this can then be used for your pins ... when attach to clothes (or cards) to prevent fingers being pricked and also stops the pin coming off

Before I finish ... I would just like to say a huge Thank You to Play Date Cafe for picking This card as one of the Fab 4 this week ... I am so very honoured and grateful

Till soon ... keep safe
