Rocking chair and a patchwork quilt birthday card.

I just love these two stamp sets
from
Our Daily Bread Designs
The sets I have used are
Sew Special (rocking chair)
and
Sewn with Love sentiment
I used a 3D Punch and Emboss flower design
and
topped each with a colourful button.
A Fiskars border punch at top of card.
A white seam binding tape double bow
and
a
pretty brown and white checked brad.
I coloured the rocking chair with my trusty Aquarella pencils
and then
painted with my water brush.
I had a lot of fun making this card for my friend's birthday.
I never know quite how they are going to turn out, these cards seem to tell me what to do half the time....tweaking until it's just right.
Such fun.
