So OK, right away I thought of this adorable Lockhart Vintage Apron image. I just love it, don't you?! I stamped the image on a Cream Perfect Paper Panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and paper pieced it. I did add a little shading at the gathers with Copic marker WN1, otherwise there's no coloring. I'm using Midnight Madness Sketch #53 for my layout. I used 3/4" twill for the tabs and sewed them down with a zig-zag stitch and topped them off with buttons from MFT's Summer collection. Paper is Very Vanilla and Sage Shadow, and MFT Wild Cherry (this is the most gorgeous RED, peeps!). The sentiment is from MFT's Chick Flick. I love this layout, I love this stamp, I love this paper, and I love how this card came together.
NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
