A passion for Papertrey challenge

About a month ago I set myself a goal to complete a number of blog challenges  before I get back to making bit and bobs for charity craft fairs. This one is from http://apassionforpapertrey.blogspot.com/  It was such an easy challenge but it had me stumped. I started it four times and threw out all attempts. Then this morning having a quick peek at Michelle Wooderson's site I happily wanted to card lift. See my inspiration here. http://michellewooderson.blogspot.com/2011/05/fruit-fusion.html

I used my new little gadget the sew easy http://www.weronthenet.com/sew_easy. for the first time. I think I need to give it a little more use and practise before I form any strong opinions on it.  For speed I pulled down my tiny sewing machine to complete the tag.

The papers and chipboard pop I used were from Hometown Summer Petite paper pack by Collage Press http://www.pinkpaislee.com/2011/01/sneak-peek-week-day-2-hometown-summer/

Ribbon and button Papertrey ink Berry Sorbet. Card base, doilies and lace from stash.

    Lol, sometimes it's the simplest ones that turn out to be the hardest!!! Your card turned out gorgeous Anne - I love the little focal image.

    Well Anne, if it makes you feel any better, it took me ages to decide what I was going to do for this challenge using the sketch provided. I'm not one of those who it just comes naturally to, it takes a while...lol I love the shabby chicness of your card and the colours are so bright and fresh (makes a change from the weather...lol)
