And here's my submission for the week...
This card was created to mimic a quilt pattern, Grandmother's Flower Garden. I used a paper punch to cut out 3 DP and then adhered them to a white card stock base. I stitched each one with my trusty sewing machine and ran the entire piece through my Cuttlebug to dry emboss. The entire "quilt" was aged with Ranger Distress Ink. You will notice a touch of paper punched lace peeking out along with some traditional lace. The scripture stamp (Sew Special Set) was highlighted with a Spellbinders die. The Pincushion Single stamp was colored with Copics and the thimble was highlighted with a sparkle glaze pen. The seam binding is a custom creation. Originally it was white but I spritzed my Scor-Pal (slick side) with water and Smooch Spritz and tossed. (Just like a salad...) The final result is a beautiful mottled pink color! Thanks as always for reading and be sure to check out the other ladies and their fabulous creations! Blessings...

This is just lovely! Love how you did your quilt design, beautiful lace.
What a fabulous card! The dry embossing and the stitching really set it "a cut above".
OMG! toooo pretty for words!
Lori this is soooo pretty! I just love how you did the embedded embossed quilt panel and your wrinked seam binding came out such a pretty color! I don't own any smooch! This gives me pause.... lol! Love the pretty details of lace and button... beautiful card!

Hey girl, just wanted to let you know that your card for today is absolutely amazing to say the least!! So much detail with thos punched DP's and the embossing...wow, makes it look like one of those comfy quilts. You have been putting that sewing maching you've bought not too long ago to good use. Makes me wish my regular machine was working :C. I used one of those $15 ones you get at Big Lots, sew only a straight stitch, if it is working ;D;D. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! Have a blessed weekend! Hugs, Sabrina
Lori, first of all I want to say I'm so thrilled that you are on the team for good now...YEAH! Congrats! Second, your quilted look turned out perfect...this is such a sweet card! Hugs ~S~
cool! Your embossing actually makes it look like cross-stitch to me.
Lovely soft colors. Very pretty. ;)
