April Key Ingredients Challenge

Today's TE Key Ingredients Kit challenge was to SEW on your card AND to create a card in anything other than the usual A2 size. Pffft, that's a GOOD one for me, huh? Me LOVEEE easy peasy!!



I decided to use my Crafty Cuppie set and work that into this sewing theme as well. I REALLY loved the kit this month. Speaking of kits, have you subscribed yet??? Wow, this is such a great deal for not only the beginner, but for the advanced crafter as well. The kits include enough supplies for 16 cards and they even come with a FREE plastic storage case! But that's not all, the TE Store will also give you a 10% discount on any order for additional products placed between the 10th and the 13th of the month to be shipped with your subscription kit. Now what hen doesn't love a DISCOUNT?? Bwaaaaakkkk!!

Ok, so I decided to stamp my image onto some Choice Buttercream CS and colored her with my Copics. I sponged some chalk ink around the edges and matted the image with the red CS in the kit. The DP in the kit is from Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl collection and boy oh boy, do I LOVE this collection! I matted the DP with the same red CS and zig zag stitched around the edges. To finish, I printed the sentiment and attached it the the bottom with a button and twine and even colored the chipboard scissors for a few more sewing goodies!! Isn't she SEW cute!! Ok, be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what ya think, k? Don't forget to check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen participating in this challenge too!! {{{hen hugs}}} Supplies:
Rubber Stamps - Crafty Cuppie; Copics; Colorbox Chalk Ink, all remaining supplies are from the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Subscription Kit

  11. Look how clever you are again! I do not sew, absolutely hate it, but I could almost start liking it just cause of this card. Then again maybe I'll rather have the same but referring to stamping :-)
