Since I've been on this sewing themed kick lately, I just had to pull out one of Karen
Lockhart's aprons to work with. This image is called
Vintage Apron. I love paper piecing Karen's apron designs, it's like playing with paper dolls again. I stamped the apron image onto some
Fancy Pants patterned paper and colored the trims a little with a pink
Copic marker. For the background I scrunched up a piece of old sewing pattern. A pretty ribbon and tied pink buttons just add to the feminine sewing theme.
For the inside of my card, I used some Crafty Secrets stamps for the sentiment and stitching line.
With all the crafty crazy going on, it's fun to reach for other types of crafting supplies....like the sewing themed stamps, old sewing patterns, my sewing machine, vintage buttons, etc. Oh how I love to dig through my goodies. Hope you're having a fabulous day!

That is an adorable card. Perfect idea for my mom's birthday this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration.
How cute is this? I have an apron stamp and never know what to do with it, so thanks for the inspiration.
This is so sweet! Love those stamps, the apron & sentiment, the scrunched up sewing pattern, and the stitching inside. It is fun to find ways to combine our crafts & supplies! :>
very sweet.....
it is snowing again today and I just want to craft, but can't!
maybe tomorrow!
So original and cute! I love it!
Your card is just darn cute. I also have the KL apron stamp and learned to paper piece from you months ago. My favorite "go to" stamp. Adding the pattern piece just really set it off. Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas. Nancy in So Cal
P.S. I think I'll go make one for a friend that I haven't seen for a while and use the sentiment...
Miss you sew much! So off ot scrap.
Mish,

I just ordered that stamp yesterday. Been wanting it a long time. I'm saving your post for inspiration on how to use it. LOVE the use of the tissue pattern paper.
Love the pattern piece behind the apron!
