When I saw that Jen's friend Betty, who is our destination for this week's Tic-Tac-Toe Teapot Tuesday challenge, likes both sewing and knitting, I was spoiled for choice which way to go. In the end I added some knitting stitches for texture but focussed on sewing. I used the right vertical column of Jacqueline's tic-tac-toe board - patterned paper (dress, background, button), die-cuts (button, paperclip, sentiment) and stitching (embossed knit stitches, sewing machine, button stitched to card.
Trimcraft Sweet Paris for background, embossed with TH folder, sanded, edges stitched and defined with green Gelato.
Kraft tag embossed with RG knit ef, trimmed down to fit card. SU spiral edge punch, folded corner and clipped it with a little die-cut paperclip from the Karen Burniston tag book pop-up set., MFT button. Dress is pieced from BG papers (Pheobe and Lily Kate, I think). I added two layers of lace along the edge of the tag, after stitching a line under the bottom of the dress form.

You just have it all on this card! The stitches, the lace, the flowers, the embossing, the die-cuts! You have all the things she likes and most of the things on the Tic-Tac-Toe board. Wonderful card and colors! They definitely look summery!
