Dare me to SEW!!
Cannot believe the Daring Cardmakers Dare this week. Fecking sewing, SEWING, me sew..sheez gimmie the kitchen items anyday. Anyway when I was at the shops this morning I bought some thread and a needle. I have not sewn since probably school and trying to remember blanket stitch was a no go area, so I had to have a wee google search to remind myself how to do it. Please note the rustic homemade look of the stitch (no not my excuse for uneven stitches lol) ooh I even stitched the button on...no glue dot for me!
This card started off as a birthday card but it somehow organically moved away from that. The ribbon is really sweet you can't see it in my crappy photo but it has merry christmas written on it. Anyway I think I should thank the Darers....maybe and cannot wait for next weeks PURLEASE NO MORE SEWING. PS link to Dare blog in sidebar.

Well done to you for getting your card done so quickly - and for rising so courageously to the challenge - ir sounds as though this one really HURT!!!!!!!
Anyway, it's a lovely card, I love the soft muted shades you've got there. Now that you've got going on this sewing lark you'll be stitching your LOs together too!
All the trauma was worth it (and beleive me i know how you feel - it was hard for me too!) fabby, fabby card
