Yes, I know... I told you that I didn't feel like crafting because of the heat... but I had to make a DT card. No excuses!
I decided to look at some challenges. I again combined a number of them: SNSS Hump Day Challenge 32 at SCS-Red and Aqua... SplitCoast Stampers Ways to Use It WT367-Rub-Ons... Mojo Monday 233... The Shabby Tea Room #106-Pennant Party... Catered Crop-Stitching...
Recipe: To Paris with Love and Vintage Postcardclear stamp sets (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)... Pennants & More die set(Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)... Rose Red, Cool Caribbean, Wild Wasabi, Blushing Bride ink pads and card stocks (SU!)... Rub-on (SU!), Hole punches (Fiskars), Baker's Twine by the Twinery(my Etsy Store), Pearls, Sewing Machine, Vintage Button(my Etsy Store)... cellophane bag (misc)... Sponge Dauber (SU!)...
Instead of cutting off the thread pieces from stitching, I left them handing as an extra design element:
Darling little confetti-es hand punches... and pretty rub-ons butterflies... some of the confetti pieces and postage stamps are attached to the background, some are just floating around:
The idea for the confetti shaker came from Piradee's fabulous creations. I am not sure mine turned out that great as hers... but I had fun making it.
Thanks for visiting!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Fabulous. I love the idea of leaving the ends of the thread as a design element. Genius. Thanks for sharing it with us at Catered Crop.
