{Good} Kharmagirl

Jodi (aka Kharmagirl) is this week's featured stamper on Splitcoast! I really enjoy her work. This week - I chose to take her TLC160 card and changed a lot, but kept the same look for some reason. I eliminated the button in the center of the circle, added brads and eliminated the big stitches. I did some real sewing, and used vellum instead of the reverse cuttlebug teachnique. I even changed the colors - she used creamy caramel and olive - I used river rock and guava. I love this card! I hope it brings me good Kharma! (does anyone watch Earl?)

Start with the river rock base. I put on a layer of guava - tacked a few pieces of mono on it, then sewed with my Janome Sew Mini (a zig zag stitch). The vellum with dry pressure embossed with the Birds & Swirls cuttlebug folder. I embossed some of the river rock as well and layered that on the bottom of the card. I punched the river rock circle with a nestability die (circle). I stamped with the think happy thoughts on the white (thanks so much and flower). I layered those with dimensionals. Brads were added to the corners of the card. The bird (always) was stamped with guava ink on whisper white cardstock. I trimmed the bird carefully and adhered it to the card with dimensionals.
