I am not a fan of sewing anything, but as I was going through some of my drawers recently, I found some cards where you sew around the edges. I bought these many years ago and I think I only used one in the pack of three. I decided to use another one and used some green embroidery thread to sew around the edges of this card. I colored the image using colored pencils and Gamsol. I also used a new stamp! What a sweet place for these meeces to take a nice nap.



Stamp:  Trio Nap - Stampendous
Dies:  Labels 8 - Spellbinders
Wildflower Stems - Sizzix
Fern - No Brand

Punch:  Butterfly - The Paper Studio
Colored Pencils - Prima

I love your sewing around the card. It looks great. I'm with you, I'd like a little nap snuggled in a flower. Cute card. [Bunny]

Lots of fabulous work here, thanks so much for playing along with us for the last time over at the Mod Squad. I am very sad that we are retiring, it has been a great ride. Hope to see you around the web!!
