Chelsea Green Cotton Frigate

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with a card using one of my favourite themes-upcycling! This time I used an old cotton sheet which I stamped onto with Stazon, then attached to fusible web for stability on the card, then sewed round with green cotton on a sewing machine to match the Papermania Chelsea Green papers I wanted to use.
I then added White cardstock to mat onto, Florist ribbon and a Wooden button with twine sewn through the eye holes.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Craftymess: Anything Goes
Delicious Doodles: Monochromatic
C.R.A.F.T Challenge: Monochromatic
My Hearts Pieces Challenges: Monochromatic
The Ribbon Girl: Boy cards
Southern Girls: Ribbon
Tanda Stamps: All things Manly
Creative Stamp Friends: Male Cards
Make It Monday: Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp and Show: My favourite

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments, I really appreciate them :-)
