Happy Sunday! I've been spending mine inside where it's cool, 108 degrees out there right now, BLECH! And what better way to occupy my time than to craft a few cards! This one is for a special Aunt of mine. She used to be a professional seamstress. At 92 she still sews and does crafts! Hope I manage to be that chipper if I am lucky enough to reach that age!
I used a lot of distress ink and distressed the edges to give it an aged look. I stamped the image onto come patterned paper and cut out the bonnet, apron and lacy bottom under her skirt. I sewed the pieces together, added a bit of ribbon on the bonnet and some hand made flowers of the same paper pattern. The papers are from a stack called "Crafty" by DCWV. The stamp is from my FAVE company, Bugaboo and is called "Sewing".
The inside:
Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week ahead! Aloha!

So cute! I love how you applied ribbon to her bonnet. It's been about 108 here also. I am completely miserable. By the afternoon I usually don't want to do anything it's so hot. Keep cool.
