Groovy!

I'm starting to get my groove back!  Work and stress can really suck the creativity out of you. I get the Serendipity news letter and their current challenge was stitching.  Well, I dusted off my $49.00 sewing machine a couple of weeks ago and guess what? It still works! So I sorted through my Serenity stamp stash (say that 3 times in a row) and found this Mustang stamp that I had never used and I got all excited just like use to be about making cards.  So without further ado, tah-dah and pat on the back.....  MUSTANG!




AND
Mustang 2




Serendipty Challenge #29 Stitches

Serendipity Stamp - Mustang 
For the first card stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa and colored the image with my Copics and then shaded using my Prisma pencils and Gamsol.  The embossing was done with a Spellbinder rectangle die.
I did some faux stitching in the corner using a Stampin Up piercing tool and Slicci copper pen.  I braided some twine I had and added a dragonfly charm and fastened both with some Zip Dry. The pen-stripped paper is from Basic Grey. The sentiment is from Stampin-Up's Mixed Messages. 

The second card was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Blac and was also colored with Copics. But for this one I decided to sponge the background. The image was cut with a Spellbinder die and mounted on Authentique Paper and stitched up on tan cardstock.
