Saturday Spotlight Challenge (with household item)

The challenge at Saturday Spotlight was to use a household item on your card. Recently I got this new House Mouse stamp which just lent itself to using a real sewing needle and thread. I will have to post this in a padded envie to protect the Postman! (although I did cut off the end of the needle and covered it with a touch of crystal glaze, so it's not really that sharp)

I also used a bit of lace leftover from a sewing project, and dental floss on the buttons. Both the lace and dental floss are sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Corduroy to give them a vintage look. The right edge is embossed with a Cuttlebug border of buttons from the "Just My Type" folder, and also sponged with TH Distress Ink. The image is coloured with Copic markers.

Inside, it reads Sew Much! (Thank you.....Sew Much!)
