Use some Stitching

 Welcome to a New Year, hopefully full of lots of good things and plenty of crafting😎

Its time for a new challenge over at Alphabet Challenge with the theme for the next 2 weeks being:

U is for USE SOME STITCHING
Real or Faux

Being that I'm a danger with a needle and thread i went with faux stitching and dug out some stitch edge dies.



I first dug out a pile of offcuts/snippets made with a mix of inks, brushos, pixie powders and die cut them with curved stitched edge border dies. I layered them up over each other in a random way and added black card with pixie powders on the top and bottom edges.  Mounted it all onto white linen cardbase. 

I then die cut a stitched daisy flower from snippets of black card with pixie powders on it.  It really shimmers in the light.  Stamped greeting die cut into a pierced fishtail banner. For the repeat stamping of the thank you, I used the stamp platform and moved the card along so that it stamped in a nice even line.  Blue gemstones to finish. 

You can really make out the colour of the pixie powders in this photo on the black card.  

I was quite pleased with the end result so think i shall be using up some more of those off cuts this way.  Very simple but effective I think. 

Items Used:
MFT Stitched curved border dies
Stitched daisy die
MFT pierced fishtail banner die
Various inks


So if you fancy joining in and just to see what everyone comes up with using some stitching do hop over to Alphabet Challenge

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Hugs Emma

A really fabulous card Emma - I keep looking at it here! And so clever to lift the sentiment strip slightly - adds even more dimension to an already very tactile card.
