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.
