Pencil Lines & Teresa Collins

Here's the latest sketch from Pencil Lines:

We were asked to showcase Teresa Collins products on our layouts.  This was hard for me.  I think her products are so beautiful and romantic, but that is just *so* not my style.  Nevertheless, I played around to see if I could get it to work out for me.

What do you think?  Does it feel like "me?"  (btw: That's black lace pleated and folded and sewn around the edge of the layout.)

My favorite part of the layout is the sewn embellishments.

I simply stitched a free hand design onto patterned paper and cut it out.

I'm also loving the simple addition of a single flower.  I'm not usually so restrained!

  • The stitched embellie is you and the rest is new (and you made it fit your style). Love the lace around the edges!

  • Love your take on the sketch, and I love the free hand stitching on the paper. Question: what kind of foot do you use? I’ve been wanting to try this, but mine doesn’t come out well.
