The challenge is to create a card or project using a digital image and trying a fun new technique that we haven’t done before. I have never made a round card before and this is also the first time stitching on the card with an actual sewing machine.

I originally created the card with Rock the Farm Anya but then realized it wasn’t a digital stamp, go figure. So off she came and I colored up Dressy Anya, where I had a second chance at matching the colors better. Maybe I’ll get a chance to use her later.

The challenge is to create a card or project based on the inspirational by a book. I have so many favorites on my bookshelf that I looked towards my stamp collection to find a match. Miss Anya Snow, featured as “Rose”, jump started my inspiration and narrowed down my selection to East by Edith Pattou. This is a book I’ll never forget… again. You see, I had forgotten all about reading it until half way through reading it the second time! It was still an enjoyable read.

“Rose” wouldn’t be complete with the white bear and so I drew up this polar bear to walk along her during their adventures. Since so much is covered up, I took this picutre below to showcase the entire bear. Surprisingly it works well on it’s own but it wouldn’t be “East” without the two together. This card also satisfies a color combination challenge using blue, cream and any additional color, gold.

I worked in several challenges on this card with the first to create a card or project based on the sketch provided. The colors were derived from ‘Christmas in July’ themed challenges and the image was selected to create a bah-humbug card for “the man” of the house. (It’s all for show though, hence the bag full of goodies.) Finally, twine was added for the last challenge and a boy stamp for the “something boy” challenge.
