Happy Sat crafters. It is a rainy Saturday here in Missouri, but we need the rain. What a better time than to share another card with my readers. Today's card features some hand stitched sewing that I have tried for the first time on my cards. It turned out pretty good. I had help with my new tool - the We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool. It is actually a little card to use than I thought - and maybe for that reason is because I tried to pierce through two sheets of cardstock, I am not sure, but nonetheless I made it work, and it didn't turn out too badly in my opinion. I made this for a friend who has been going through a lot of rough times lately in her life, and with her family. I just wanted to show her that I care!
The butterfly image comes from Stampendous. I actually did a haul video and this set was in that video. If you wanted to see the video here is the
link. I added some Linen twine around the butterfly for something different for the antennae. I added some pearls for more dimension and interest, and the sentiment comes from HA set called "Friends". Thanks for visiting me!! Be back soon with another card or project!!! :)

first - this is gorgeous and I love your stitching. I've seen that took on HSN and been tempted, but keep telling myself No. Your friend will love it :)
