Just a Note
I can't believe the March Hero Arts Blog Challenge is almost over. Where did the time go?
Here is another card using the lovely Hydrangea stamp. It is quickly becoming a new favorite! This time I used Crackle Accents on the flower and leaves after coloring. I chose the sentiment to go with the Aged Sheet Music background and it fit just right. I also threw in some machine stitching since I'm on speaking terms with my sewing machine again!
Here is a close-up showing the crackle finish on the flower:
Stamp(s): Hero Arts (K5193 Flower Word Pattern, K5376 Hydrandgea, CL342 Everyday Sayings); Cornish Heritage Farms (Aged Sheet Music Scrapblock)
Ink(s): Hero Arts (Cerulean); ColorBox (Charcoal); Memories (White); Tsukineko (Tuxedo Black)
Paper(s): Hero Arts (Powder & Cerulean Folded Cards); The Paper Company (Kraft)
Other: Copic Markers (Assorted); Ranger (Crackle Accents); Machine-Stitching
Speaking of sewing machine, here is another project I have been working on, a stuffed kitty. It is almost done except for the face and stitching up the back. I didn't fully understand the "dart seam" in the rear end so that came out a bit funny. If any of you sew maybe you can help me figure it out for next time!
Thanks for looking! Comments are appreciated!
Hugs,

Love your card Joy - the flower is beautiful! And that stuffed kitty is soooo cute!!
Another gorgeous hydrangea card! I want that stamp so badly!!!! And I love your kitty! Maybe you can stitch the butt closed by hand--at least it has a tail!
Fabulous colouring and cutting Joy. Love the colour and the crackle looks amazing. I laughed as I had used exactly the same sentiment on my Hydrangea card
Gorgeous card Joy and the crackle effect looks amazing on the hydrangea! Your little kitty is so cute!
Simply lovely I really need to get that stamp. The cat turned out cut to. I wish I could sew like that. Thanks for sharing
