Moxie Fab World-Fun with Floss & EBTKS Challenge #10 Fabric

Okay, sometimes it just pays to be a "last minute" challenge addict :-P

I have been messing around with this card for waaaay too many days cause it involved using embroidery floss which I don't have~yeah, I know, how could I not have that!? Had to go to the Fabric store and buy some. No clue what the heck I was going to do with it on a card, I ended up buying eight different colors of those little (what, scanes?). Now I'm all set to create many many more cards with floss! After playing around and wasting a few yards of this stuff, finally thought I should be embroidering on fabric so, I stamped a piece of scrap with that cute little blue bird stamp (which was the cute yellow chick stamp for last week's Tuesday Trigger card :o) I used the purple floss to outline the bird and yellow floss for his feet and beak~but the beak had two parts and I had just about been over this project ... so I pulled the last piece of floss through the front and colored it orange to make it look like the bird was bringing a worm to the party :^)

Before I posted this, I remembered Everything But The Kitchen Sink's Challenge was to incorporate "something around the house" this week~~what are the odds, the "something" would be fabric, huh? Well, it is (whoot whoot!) and here's my entry for that challenge too.
