Splitcoast to make fabric yo-yos (or other handmade fabric embellie) and it all fell in to place. I figured I might as well throw in a sketch challenge for good measure - lol! The card is based on Kazan's Sketch 36 over on 2 Sketches 4 You.Unusually for me, the stamping takes a back seat but it's still there :o) This is one of those 5" square cards where you bless the fact you have a 6" square Scrapblock so you can stamp the whole background without piecing anything!
I made the yo yo by cutting a circle with the largest Nestie from the Large Circles set. A tip if you are making these - use big stitches round the edge if you want your yo yo to pull up tight in the centre, small stitches will give you a more open one.

I really like this. Don't know how you manage it all.
love this! good work with tripling up. love how you found an old shirt for the yo-yo!
This is absolutely beautiful. I think it's one of your best Joanne - which is saying something as your cards are always fabulous
great work and the tartan embellie is fab and goes really well with the rest of the card.
Gorgoeus Joanne!!! But I thought a yo-yo was a frustrating round wooden toy with string that I could never get the hang of hahaha
