Birthday greeting for a precious friend using House Mouse and this awesome retro paper from another sweet friend. The image is watercolored, and the cake has MS chunky glitter, and the popcorn has liquid applique. Using one section of a popcorn box, I framed the image with nesties, and popped them up on foam tape. I smile every time I use my sewing machine too- think of Pat (Kokirose) and how she taught me to use my own machine when she was here visiting. (I didn't even know how to change stitches!) Lol.
Thanks for looking!

What a wonderful way to showcase this image - only you would think of this! Love it - what a special card a friend's birthday. We are all glad Pat showed you how to use your machine - we counted three different types of stiches on the card you made me for my birthday - my stamp club friends were amazed. You should have heard the oohs and aahs. LYMI!

Awww, this is so sweet and I am sure the recipient is going to flip when she sees it. My favorite ribbon, too. I ordered two rolls, again, you enabler. Glad you told me I could get it.
I love the stitching and my machine will not work, I gave up on it after an hour of frustration so I will just enjoy looking at your wonderful stitching.
