Framed Sewing Theme Digi Stamp

I printed the digi out onto 300gsm Super Smooth white cardstock and coloured it in using my ProMarkers.

I prepared a base card by scoring an A4 sheet of white hammered cardstock using my Hougie Board and folded it in half before sticking a mat of silver mirror paper trimmed to be 1cm smaller in all directions on it using a roller glue pen.

I cut a panel of pale pink, linen textured, cardstock to be approximately 1cm smaller on each side than the silver mirror layer and again used my Hougie Board to emboss a diamond patern on it.

I put super sticky tape all round the back of this and wound some purple jute twine around this before sticking it down onto the mirror mat.

I used a decorative edged cutter and cut two panels out of white linen textured cardstock and coloured these with two of the colours I'd used on the digi-stamp.

After cutting out the digi I put a green ribbon through the hole at the top, and I wound the rest of the ribbon up into a bundle.

I cut a paper lace border from a doily and scrunched this up. I stamped "Penblwydd Hapus" - Welsh for "Happy Birthday" - onto one of the coloured swatches. I'd made little pink flower shaped buttons out of clay a few days ago.

I took three of these and threaded yellow jute twine through the holes and tied on top of the buttons before triming.

I started tucking the pieces I'd collected under the jute twine on the card front, gluing everything in place using glue gel once I was happy with the layout.
