Sewing Craze!

I admit it, I'm on a sewing craze right now. This card like many other projects that I have recently created has sewing on it.  I started by using the diamond stitch on my sewing machine.  I sewed a strip of diamonds with green thread onto a light green cardstock.  Then I pulled the stitching away from the cardstock, which left me we a string of stitched diamonds.  I separated them into sets of two an adhered them into the flower shape.  I then punched a 1/2" circle and wrapped it in the same green thread to use as the center of the flower.  To add a little more dimension, I punched small circles from a scrap piece of olive green cardstock and adhered the small circles around the center of the flower.  Using my sewing machine once again.  I choose another patterned stitch and sewed the three strips.  I adhered the three strips to the striped paper and inked around a piece of light green cardstock and wrote many thanks with a marker.  To add a bit more interest, I cut wire and wrapped it into the spirals and tucked the ends behind the sentiment panel.  The overall card design was inspired by the current sketch challenge # 114 over at The Paper Players.
