Sew Couture

Good morning and Happy Monday to you all!  I imagine you are all preparing for the holidays...baking, shopping, wrapping, and maybe sewing....

This is my second card submission as a GDT member for Craft Your Passion, and for this week's sketch challenge I've used the Couture image, which can be found here at CocoDingo.  It is a quick one to colour and can be used for many occasions.

The frame was made using a Nellie die and rounded corner punch, then adding some silver brads and a number of coloured ribbons.  Some flourishes are stamped on the background paper to give it some pizzaz, and some distress ink has been sponged on the edges.

Be sure to check out the challenge this week for more inspiration from the talented DT members, and the chance to win a lovely prize.

Other challenges to check out with more inspiration:
