Happy wishes

...to you!
Thank goodness for scheduled blogging - I have so many cards I need to catch up on sharing with you!

Todays card was made for last weeks SSC Card technique challenge - sewing! I made a little tutorial on that HERE for those who were inquiring about my stitching. :)
Also, there are some new things going on around SSC - first we have a new sponsor (my shoppe, so if you've been wanting to try some goodies, enter the challenges for a chance to win!) and we have a new honors format. Check that out HERE.
Now on to the card...


This uses some paper and a doily from my new kit, and some pretty hand-dyed seam binding...shabby loveliness. :)

Hmmmm...I think that's pretty much it for now. Just be sure to check out the SSC card group today, as there will be a new challenge up, plus a featured card from last weeks challenge!

Thanks for stopping in and have a great hump day!
