You're sew lovely...

Happy Easter and welcome to 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!!

Check out this week's sketch!

I tweeked it a smidge:)

I finally inked up my You're Sew Lovely set by the fabbie Kelly!!! I had the opportunity to meet Kelly at the Winter CHA...she's as tall as I am petite..LOL..super sweet and super energetic...and obviously super talented!!!

Did you notice something about my card...no stitching...I tried out the piercing since I didn't want the stitching to take away from the image and papers...sheesh, piercing is wwwaaayyy more labor intensive than sewing....seriously :) I'm throwing this into the Moxie Picking up the Pieces Challenge too!

Okie dokie...yesterday was chock full of fun for me..not much crafting but I got to meet the super fabbie Ginny and I had dinner with my friend Laurel...today will be chock full of crafting:)

Happy Easter girlie! This card is sew lovely as well as yourself of course ;D
OK we need to swap because I'm too scared to sew and will happily spend hours paper piercing instead of cowering in the corner scared of my sewing machine LOL!
I'll send you the card to stitch and you send me your card to pierce!

speaking of "SUPER TALENTED" i would have to say this card qualifies for that moniker, missus, with those gorgeous stamps and the perfect combo of papers and the awesome finishing touch of piercing all round the edges--which was WELL worth the effort, imo! ♥LOVE♥ this! :)

yheah...it takes waaayyyy too long to pierce all the holes...
That's why I NEVER have stitches in my card...so much labour work taken off...any way, this card still look so wonderful and I love the pattern paper... Amy!

Super chic card, Amy. I like your use of the black and white paper for the dress against the strips with the added red.

Here's a little tip for you since you prefer to sew. To do your paper piercing, use your sewing machine without the thread. The needle will punch those holes quickly.
