Sewing Postcard

Morning and we have a new "Use Stitching" challenge at Simply Create Too--I have used a part of a sewing stamp set-had it for yonks and pretty sure it was a craft mag freebie set the little splats are part of a craft mag freebie set too.
I made a postcard which is also for a FB swap group-background is distress oxides and promarkers on the cotton reel and scissors.Short and sweet today--no dramas or mishaps!!!

In another hobby life, I was into sewing, so the stitchery motifs on this vintage looking postcard just make me happy. Love that you've created the sepia and old fashioned coloring of an old card found in someone's trunk! TFS &Have a great weekend. Hugs
