Country Sewing, Meljen Style!

Why, hello again!

Nice to talk with you again!  This time I have an ATC's Cards with Attitude creation to share with you, a super image from our sponsor, Meljen's, called hmmm, what was the name of that image...oh yes, Sewing Machine!  Isn't it is great image?  So nice to use to whip up a quick card that looks great too.  Meljen's has super cool images.  From intricate to cute and simple.  They are our sponsor this fortnight at ATC.  Our theme is DAD/Anything Goes.  You can also enter our sister challenge, Fat Pages Cards with Attitude, with your same creation, and we have another great sponsor there, too!  And Top 3 winners!  As you can see, I didn't make a true ATC, but a regular card.  You can do the same, so be sure to enter our DAD/Anything Goes challenges!  What more could you ask for from a challenge?  And we love seeing your creations!  Here is mine for this fortnight:

Colored Meljen's Sewing Machine with Prisma pencils and mounted it with pop dots on some Kraft, DP, and light blue card stock, sewing all the layers.  I also did some paper piecing by adding shiny gold hearts (cuts from my best bud) and gluing red crochet thread over the spools and where the hearts hang.   Added two strands hanging from the sewing machine needles also.  The hearts are from the same good bud and "float" behind the image.  Love those hearts with this image, as I was going for a country look.  Glued on some buttons threaded with white crochet thread and added the sentiment stamp that I just happened to have- a win from Kraftin' Kimmie's.  Perfect for this image!  There you have it, my ATC's Card with Attitude creation!  Super fun to make.  I really need to work on getting my stitches straight, but this image is so cute that I don't think it is that noticeable (except to me of course, and now to you since I pointed it out!) I hope it adds to the country charm!

That's all from me for a few days.  I hope you get those bright spots in your days ahead and keep those stitches straight!
