Thank You Sew Much

When I first started going to sewing classes my Sister's Mother In Law, Fiona, kindly gave me her sewing machine to practice on.  However this Christmas my wonderful fiancée has bought me a brand new shiny machine :) So as a thank you I have Fiona a homemade bag and card.

To make the card I found the perfect stamp over at Pink Petticoat, I have to say I love the designs at Pink Petticoat and if you have checked it out yet then you should!

I coloured in the little flowers and thread using my promarkers and attached a little bit of sparkle.  To then sewed the image onto scraps of fabric I found in amongst my scrapbox.  To finish off the card I simply sewed a border round the pink backing card and attached a shear ribbon to give it a bit of a 'grounding'.

I will show you the bag I have made her later in the week as I still have some finishing touches to add.

Once I had finished the card I realised the colours were perfect for the challenge over at Ribbon Girls, so I have added this as an entry.
