We have a new sponsor, STAMPlorations, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Pin Cushion! A randomly selected participant in the Pin Cushion challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate to use at STAMPlorations, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!
I was inspired by the sewing theme of the inspiration photo, but I don't have any sewing stamps (must remedy that another day). What I do have is lots and lots of Maya Road chipboard, in particular the Still Sew Cute collection, which includes, among other things, spools and needles. I covered a spool in a woodgrain pattern, then wrapped some strawberry twine around it. The needle is heat-embossed in silver (two times for extra coverage).
The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti's SWEET THING -- I just replaced the word "so" with tiny alphabet stickers spelling out the word "sew." In the background is a pink tag that I die-cut using the TAG ME Confetti Cuts die set from Reverse Confetti. Along the left edge is a DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER Confetti Cuts die-cut.
Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!
