Antiques Window

I am a big fan of stitching with my sewing machine on my cards & projects, and recently started experimenting with this metallic gold thread from Gutermann.  I was doubtful that it would stand up well, because it is such a delicate filament, but it works beautifully!  I used it to glam up this week's card for Art Impressions using Antiques Window (Sku #4587):

 Even though this is a masculine card, I don't find the gold thread to be over the top - it just adds a bit of glimmer.  I made a frame with a double row of wonky stitching and popped it up with pop dots.  I did a little zigzag stitch on the heart, and popped both it and the main image up as well.  The Antiques Window is one of the Windows To The World stamps - they're quick to colour and have wonderful sayings written around them.  *This would be a great Father's Day card... you can find all the WTTW stamps here.  Happy stamping!

Antiques Window

I am posting on the One Crazy Stamper blog today!  I've gone from doing a totally summery card yesterday, to an almost fall-like one today!  I've been itching to use the Antiques Window stamp from Art Impressions, and to me, it was crying out to be coloured up in fall tones:

I wanted to show off the patterned paper as much as possible, so I made a floating frame around the image and popped them both up with pop dots.
