BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - DCM & WED STAMPER


Hopefully I have managed to incorporate two challenges into one card.

Over at DCM:

G'day all, Gillian here, and it's my turn to dare you all this week
Your card can be any theme you like, just as long as it's got something you'd find in a Haberdashery Department on it
Alright then, grab that old sewing basket of yours or raid your sewing machine drawer, have a look at what creative bits are hidding away there....maybe it's buttons, a zip, hook & eye's, ribbons, braids, Dressmaking patterns, tape measures,Pins & Needles, lace, safety pins or embroidery thread....
so many wonderful little treasures just waiting to be added to your next card :O)
I'm going to add one more rule....
Yes you may stitch on your card, but that can't be your only haberdashery item....

Over at Wednesdaystamper:

BUTTONS are the new challenge for the next 2 weeks! Got some favorite buttons you’ve been wanting to use or a new idea to use them? One button is just fine as well and it doesn’t matter whether you use a store, homemade or stamped button.
