A Stitch in Time.


I have several things on the go at the moment still under wraps so to speak so am showing a card and tag I made at the end of last year and not posted yet. 
 
Corners rounded using Xcut large cutter.
Backing paper is from Debbie Moore designs  'Art Deco Rome' CD rom
which matched perfectly this Kanban Topper 'Bella Fiori - Rosanna Delights
'Birthday' cut using Britania Dies.
Sissors charm, old lace and oval topper in my stash, along with cotton for stitching.
 
Inside of card using more of CD rom paper and

Both card and tag are divine. The dress form is timeless yet so popular still today. I did not know yellow is the crafty color right now. I love yellow for its bright and cheery sunshine warmth. Creative Bliss Dear...

Carol L said...

I really like your elegant card and matching tag! Beautifully done!
To answer your question - I bought my paper crimper at my local craft store Michaels. I'd imagine they'd be available at craft stores over there too? Here's what mine looks like:

Beautifully feminine card & tag--gorgeous work, Mrs. A!

MaggieC (Silvercrafter) said...

Two lovely makes here today. I love the reverse of the tag. Thank you for your visit today. The fuzzy edge to my photos was done just by fading them in Roxio Photosuite. Having done a load more sorting today, I am hoping to get some real crafting done on my desk tomorrow, even if it is just snippets. I was hoping to get some more silver birch but it is so wet at the moment and it does not look too hopeful for the rest of the week. Have a good week. xx Maggie #2
