OK, so I know the lines aren't the straightest, but I think it looks pretty good for a first attempt! Took us a while to suss out how to thread the machine, and in the end we discovered that we should have ignored the written instructions and threaded it how common sense would tell you to thread it!
Anyway, this stamp is yet another of my new stamps from Little Claire Designs (Thanks Minnie!) Doesn't really show up in the pic but the green BP has little anchors versamarked and the red paper has the little life rings. Added clear gloss to the clouds, boat and sails and popped up the little rings on dimensionals.
Hope you all had a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Good on you Lynne for giving the sewing a go! I only started about six months ago and now you can't stop me ha! I still get my husband to thread the needle though...
I've now progress and can sew circles and do zigzag... much to all my friends amusement!

Love your card Lynne! Sewing machines are fiendish to thread but eventually it becomes second nature. Jo x

I like how you carried the theme through to the whole card.
And I especially like it that you choose one of my sketches to make it! ;0)
Thanks for joining us in our birthday-celebration!

Im a huge fan of stitching on my cards, It doesn't have to be perfect to look good! if i go a little wonky on a card with the stitching i just make the rest of the stitching wonkey and act like it was suppose to be that way lol
brilliant first attempt
thank you so much for joining us this week at Sweet Stampin, i hope that you will join us again soon
