I was inspired by this ATC on this Blog.
I sorted out my material, bought a long time ago from the Works. Found some free printable spools and pattern pictures. opened up my Button Tin, sorted some threads and sewing accessories, and sat down at my desk to create.
I attached a piece of material to each card blank, cut out a pattern image and attached to the base.
I added some wondaweb strips along the edges, it's not very visible in the photos but it's there!!
I added different size and colour buttons to the left hand sides. I cut out the spool pictures and wound various threads round each one, adding a glitter thread to the main colours. I attached two gold safety pins to the red card, a tartan bow and needle threader to the fawn card and a silver safety pin, pearl headed straight pin to match the cream bow on the cream card.
I love these cards and am soooo glad I visited Kelly's blog before I started creating!!! You should take a trip through her blog, there's lots more to see.
I received the following beautiful cards:
