I was so excited to see Sandra as our Featured Stamper this week- I have have always enjoyed her gallery, and many unique styles! Each card is a delight! I chose this one to case this week:
I kept the same laylout and changed the rest. I am most excited about the stitching, and Sandra's card got me going on learning how to thread my machine!
Kokirose is one of the people I admire here, and her cards are so touching, her stitchery is something to see! When Patricia was here on a visit, my MIL (bless her heart!) gave me her sewing machine, and I just figured out how to thread it this morning after seeing Sandra's card! (Thanks Bubba)
The main image is from Rubber Romance and is watercolored. I used a technique from Sandra's gallery by sponging around the images, which she does so well! The cake has a coat of CE to make it shine, and the bottom layer has coffee grounds (which is really choclate shavings- isn't that perfect for cherry cheesecake?) Yum!
Enjoy your day Sandra and thank you for your inspiring work!
Thanks for looking!
P.S. Note to the Twisted Sistah's: Yes, I said this is cherry cheesescake just to get it into our TSC challenge from Fri to make a fruit card, and my border punch is inside! Yay, I did one! (Thanks Linda!) XXOO

Picked this up from the favourites thread. How did I miss it! Those little measuring spoons are the dinkiest ever.
And now that I know that the featherstitch I was admiring on your barn card was done on machine and not by hand, I have to say I am even more impressed!!! No tension problems to deal with when doing it by hand, but I stick strictly to plain and zig-zag on the machine.
I was looking through your gallery recently for Rubber Romance images after the last time you aired this glamorous cook - think I'll have to stick her onto a wishlist!
