Welcome to the sequel to 'Machiney and Me'! LOL! Yup, I'd had enough rest this week to be ready for Round 2. Seeing as Machiney had helped me get a Top Crop spot I felt I owed him a second chance. So I did what most of you suggested and re-threaded him and bunged the tension down a few notches.
Wanna see the results?
I think this could be the start of a beautiful friendship....*grin*
I know, it's by no means perfect stitching but it's zig-zag stitching nevertheless! Sorry for the dull pictures today, the sun shows no sign of visiting Sheffield today :o(
I'm still on a bit of a kick using the Around and About Sentiments as trails after my Butterfly Card. A fellow PTI Peep took it one step further and used the sweet plane from Tiny Treats and thus this card was born! Thanks Sharron ;D! I've seen these clouds created on a few cards recently so tried it out myself. Just cut a couple of Scalloped Ovals and sponged Spring Rain ink around. The best thing is, that because skies are pretty random you can't go too wrong with the placement of the clouds...

This card is winging its way (Get it?! Wingin?! Oh never mind!) to my not so little nephew, Harry. He's in double figures now and that's kinda freaking me out! Since when did all my nieces and nephews start growing up so fast?! I actually think some of them are more mature than their Aunty Amy now!
*sigh* is it really Friday tomorrow?! Where has my week gone!? Guess it's time to cram in all the work I should have done over the holidays into the last few days...though I'm sure I can squeeze in a bit more time to get inky ;D
Thanks so much for stopping by; I really appreciate it! Hope you have a super weekend!
Catch ya later!

Ooooh Aimes those clouds are absolutely fabulous! I love all the shading and dimension you achieved in them - the little aeroplane and trail are soooo cute!
How wonderful to hear that you and Machiney are on speaking terms at last, because that red stitching really pops - it's a gorgeous finishing detail!
Aimes, I love the clouds. I need to try that myself. Enjoy your weekend.
Love it! Glad to hear adjusting the tension helped and you are getting along now!
This is so adorable! I love how you created the clouds, so creative! And the stitching and plane trail sentiment is so fun!
Tu te débrouilles super bien avec ta machine, les détails sont splendides, bravo Amy
Super cute! I love every detail!
Well, I see a great future for you and machiney! This is such a FUN card with so many wondeful details.
So cute Amy! I love that plane!
I'm glad you whupped machiney into shape! He learned his lesson! I like the choice of the zigzag stitch, neat little layout and scene you've created too.
I really like seeing all your lovely cards and this one is no exception. It's a quite clever idea and carried out flawlessly.
