Color Throwdown 97 Sew Special

Broni is our hostess for this week’s Color Throwdown and although her interpretation of the colors was a beachy theme, I went in a different direction!  Here are the colors she chose for everyone today:

I have used up almost every piece of my Cameo Coral cardstock!  But as I was perusing my various stashes of DP, I saw some cute vintage sewing-themed paper in my Material Girl pad, and they matched the Coral and Celery colors pretty well!  So even though it is non-traditional for a “vintage” look, which to me looks old, a little faded or dirty, and well-worn, I thought they would make a fun card for a special friend’s birthday:

Using the CardPatterns sketch for this week:

allowed me to use both of those fun DPs!!  I sewed on the panels, added some lace and twill, did some collage stamping on the oval pattern and added a dimensional sewing machine from the CHF’s Sew Special set:

I even stamped on the button, using the fabric stamp and white Stazon, and made some faux buttons with a couple punches:

I added a couple strips of the DP on the inside and stamped a birthday sentiment:
