Hello, Tuesday! I have a card to share that I made for
Feeling Sketchy's Challenge #237 as Guest Designer. And I'm a little late. I should have posted it on the 15th but I was late making it round to check on the new challenge! It's a very nice sketch, so you still have until the 29th I think if you want to play.
Here is the sketch.
And here is my card. I got to use my (new to me) Spellbinders Hemstitch Oval, Square and Rectangle dies, as well as Altenew's Embroidered Blooms flower stamps and dies I've had a while and never inked up. I teamed these items up with a few papers from Basic Grey's Euphoria collection and a rainbow pattern ribbon with stitching from my stash. The stamped sentiment is by Neat and Tangled.
The back uses a stamped siggie by SeeD's and more hemstitch die cut Euphoria paper.
I enjoyed creating the flowers but really enjoyed learning how to use the hemstitch dies. It amazes me sometimes how far die cutting has come since the days of the Zip'E Cut and the Sizzix Big Red machines, both of which I still have. I still use my blue Quickutz Squeeze, too! Those Alpha dies were expensive! lol
I'll be back later to see if there are any challenges I can enter this card in. I'm so tired, I need to take a little catnap first. Social Distancing is exhausting, lol.
Thanks for the visit and try the sketch if a sketch is your thing. You know I love them, lol. Have a good evening! xoxo

A great take on the sketch - the layers are lovely with those stitched effects allowing other layers to peek through - very cool.

A really creative and beautiful card. Bravo.
Better late than never...! And still be able to make a beautiful card: bravo! On behalf of the Aud Sentiments design team, I would like to thank you for taking part in challenge # 247 and we hope you can join us next time! Greetings, Deezy (DT)
Beautiful spring colors! Great sketch design too. Thanks for joining the Double D, "Spring" Challenge.
I love your card! That's a cool die with the hemstitch. I agree that dies have come a long way. I had a cuttlebug for like 10 years and then it died and I had to get a sizzix. It's amazing how they can cut delicate pieces. :)
Cute card and so glad you shared over at Aud Sentiments.
Amy, what a beautiful card you made on our sketch :-)) I like all your details! I am glad that you are our Feeling Sketchy GDT this time.
Hugs, Andreja
Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on the guest design spot! I've fallen terribly behind in commenting over the past couple weeks and hope to get back on track. I'm in love with your hemstitch dies... may have to add them to my collection, lol! Glad you and hubby are doing okay throughout all this chaos across the land! Hugs!
Beautifully designed Spring card...thank you so much for joining our challenge at Double D!

I adore those stitched flowers and the sentiment is a perfect match! I initially didn't see the turquoise colour in the background papers but the flowers bring that out! Nice!
