Look, there’s SEWING on this card! What? Not impressed? I really think you should be because sewing does not come at all easily to me and yes, yes, I know that all I did was a running stitch through a length of crochet trim, a couple of stitches to hold it together and sew a button on but, to me, that is quite the challenge.
I made a few of these, with various changes as I played
around, for some crafty friends who did a VERY nice thing for me a week or so
ago. I wanted to thank them in the appropriate manner, so made some cards using
the new Twitterpated fabric, which I hadn’t opened before and now absolutely love.
I applied Big Shot Multipurpose adhesive sheets (p122) to
the fabric, then ran it through the Big Shot using the new Elegant Bird die
(love this!). I left off the wing as I thought it might distract from the rest
of the card.
That’s when I discovered that I could only stick the card to
a completely flat surface so, if I did it again, I would stick the fabric to a
piece of cardstock, too.
Then I finished off the cards using Twitterpated fabric and
various embellishments. On this one there’s the much-to-be-admired crochet
rosette. Below you’ll see a similar card with the addition of some Bordering on
Romance flowers.
The card below with the embossed background is the first one I
made, and the one that presented the problems with the fabric, so I stuck the
Twitterpated bird to a bird made of felt to absorb all the lumps and bumps.

These are wonderful and your rosette is beautiful! I have tons of fabric and rarely use it(same sewing issues), but the sewing on this is right in line with my abilities!!
