Stitch it Up at Sassycheryls!

That’s right……this weeks challenge is to do stitching either real or faux on your card.

Here is my card-

DSCF1327-kimr

When it comes to stitching, I would rather do it by hand, then I know the line is straight. ( that’s my OCD kicking in!).  I guess I really need to practice more with the sewing machine.

As an added touch I sewed love knots on each scallop on the top.

Here is the inside of the card-

DSCF1328-kimr

The image for this card is called Marlene’s Attitude
  • SU paper, so saffron, white and K&Company DP
  • Paper piercer, quilt thread, plastic flowers, SU scalloped border punch, round punch, paper doily, dimensional, copic markers.
Now head over to The Sassycheryls Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team have created.

Any way……..here is my card-

  • SU paper, brocade blue, white and the DP is Basic Grey.
  • MFT Die namics doily,Copic markers, circle punches, buttons, cord, ribbon, mini paper clip, dimensional, sentiment is computer generated.
