2Sketches4You

Hello.  I told you I would be back.  I have another card to share with you today.  This one is for the sketch at 2Sketches4You.  I am feeling the pastels.  Can you tell? 
I used another border embossing folder.  Love these!  Don't you look at my stitching!  I have the hardest time.  I guess I have a lead foot.  It zips through before I know it.  I can't find my "happy medium" on the pedal.  I have tried a few machines and my neighbors old Singer was the best for me to use.  It was slow and steady. 

I keep using this Anniversary set from PTI.  I embellished it a little with some pretties.  A little doily piece, some satin ribbon, and pretty Prima flower.  Love this color combo.  You?

I am off to bed.  My son has a field trip tomorrow.  I will drop him off at school at 6:15 am.  Yuck!  He is going to an Aquarium and will be gone for 12 hours.  Too bad I have to work or that would be great crafting time.  LOL

Thanks for stopping by,
Heather

    Love the colors and the stitching. You might want to pull out some fabric and work on your speed with that. It's a little heavier weight than paper and it might help. Keep at it! Patty

    This is so pretty.. Everything about your creations I love.. I have to tell you that your photography is amazing.. I feel like I could just pick that card up..:) You are also really great at "arranging" the elements..

    One thing that I do with my stitches is put my tension low... Like around 1-2. I always stitch through 2 pieces of paper too. It seems to help.. Just some things I found helped me..Your stitching looks great though..Love it.

    One more thing.. I LOVE birds..Any birds.. :) I made two Flourishes ornaments.. Can I send you one???
