I had fun sewing a zig zag stitch around the border. But I realized you could barely see it because of the metallic champagne colored acrylic paint I used. So, I just inked the edges to make the stitching pop out more. Problem solved. It all worked out in the end.
I really love this quote! Makes your heart melt. I enjoyed hand-sewing the wool felt ( left overs from Fiona's hair clips) leaves on the tree. It really added another layer of texture. I think I'm getting a little carried away on the ink edging though. I'm not even sure what you call it. But it's addicting.
Here, I used Abby's butterfly template with Jenny's yellow mist. Then I used the aged mahogany distress ink around the edges. Just to think I started off with a creme colored cardstock. Very cool. I'm trying out new tools: mists, paint, distressed ink and sewing machine. Who would have thought sewing on paper would be so much fun?! The possibilities are endless. My brain is spitting out ideas faster than I can jot down.
