I am entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge #sssmchallenge. I recently bought some envelopes specifically for mini slimline cards and I was determined to use them. I made this mini slimline by covering a 3.5 x 6" piece of cardstock in washi tape strips, adding a torn and inked piece of decorated paper, then adding a tree image stamped on watercolor paper (watercolored using inks). I did something I haven't done in about a decade. I sewed on my card using a little, old, but very sturdy machine. It is a Janome "Blossom" mini sewing machine I picked up many years ago on my local Craigslist. When I couldn't remember how to thread it, I looked on YouTube and found a tutorial made by none other than Gina K herself. The leaves are cut with my Silhouette and inked with Distress Oxides. The brown messy circle is from a fantastic Sizzix set. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology stickers.
