I love sewing on my cards...probably because I love to quilt and so I feel like I'm quilting and making cards at the same time! When I saw the thread spools and sentiments in last month's Unity KOTM I knew it would be perfect for this card!
The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge was issued on Sunday and I was nearly finished with the card when I read on Monday that this week's {Ippity} challenge is also to use sewing (either machine or by hand) on a card/project with {Ippity} stamps. So, for this card I decided to try some hand sewing and embroidered some little red French Knots on the mistletoe.
