Don't look too closely - this card is for the STVTC29 challenge which required "sewing" on your card. This isn't something that I have much practice on....but I did it because Gina is giving away the mini-Janome sewing machine to whoever is randomly picked to win this challenge!!! yep, you read right! and if you use a Gina K stamp, your name gets entered twice.So start sewing!!!
Wouldn't that be awesome to win! I have my old, huge, heavy sewing machine and am grateful for it! but wouldn't one of those mini's be great!
The coffee cup is colored with copics. Matted on creamy caramel and brown and sewed across the bottom. The background paper is from my stash and sewn onto mat. Scalloped just one side for a border. Had some caramel colored ribbon and thought it looked nice...then matted again onto brown.
All in all - I like it....sewing is straight this time LOL
Stamps: Gina K's - Sign of Autumn, Thanks a Million
Paper: SU's brown, caramel, white and dp from stash
Ink: Vivid's Coffee Bean
Embellishments: ribbon on either side
Technique: sewing, matting
Hoping to have a visit from my daughter and her family today after church - love playing with my 2-1/2 yr old grandaughter "Lily" and 7 mo old grandson "Logan" ....
I really should try scrapbooking them..........maybe one of these days!
Have a blessed day,

Hi Linda! Great job. I think the sewing is perfect. Defintely something I dont add to my cards! I could use a cup of coffee right now and yours looks like it would do the trick!

Good job on your sewing, Linda....this is an awesome card!!! Have fun with your family today...Aren't g'kids the best thing???
OMGosh this is just too cute!
Great card, Linda! Love the image and the sentiment! Wonderful colors, too! Geez, I love the whole thing! Hope you have a terrific visit with the family! Blessings to you all!
oh you know I had to come running when I saw the post title said 'coffee'!!!! :D
wonderful card and GREAT image!!!! giggles!
but please, oh please, don't ever ask me to sew on a card - or fabric for that matter. I can clog up and tangle up a sewing machine faster than you can blink. it is so NOT my thing, but I really admire anyone who can. even my faux stitching is crooked....... heavy sigh!
Wonderful and the sewing is beautiful!!
Maybe I will give it a try now too? Little intimidating sewing on a card though...
Oh...the bank worked...no more change on the table!!!! YIPPEE!!!

Linda I love the colors on your card! And you did some sewing! Looks good! I still have not been brave enough to try that yet!
Love the stamps and the paper you chose to go with them. Your stitching is great too!.
Great card Linda, I love sewing on my cards and you did a great job! Love your little dancing man on Saturday's post - my blog was playing celtic music and he was right in step - LOL!!
I have yet to venture into sewing on cards, maybe one day. I think the sewing looks great, I am impressed! That's a great set, I love coffee images.
Linda, Beautiful! Your sewing is perfect!
Love this Linda and you stitching...it is just perfect!
Lovely card...I think you sewing looks great (and I looked close).
