The new challenge at As You Like It starts today so I am here to share my DT inspiration card with you. The theme is STITCHING Real or Faux?
I had to go with faux stitching. I love the idea of machine/hand stitching on my cards but I am never truly happy with my own feeble efforts so I opted for faux stitching. I achieved this with my holey ruler and a fine liner pen, which actually doesn't look too bad!! Our sponsor this time is
Kinda Cute by Patricia and the image I was kindly supplied with is
Bear with Cup...isn't he cute?! (Thank you Patricia!!)
I was inspired by the current Catch the Bug Stella says sketch #602 challenge and I used very much loved old Marianne Designs papers that I had, shamefully, forgotten about, so I think that allows me to also enter this card in the current Allsorts challenge " Old Favourites" Apologies for the drab photograph, good light is somewhat lacking at the moment. Roll on spring I say!!
Right, that is quite enough rambling from me, all that remains is for me to say that you will be most welcome to enter the challenge with your stitched items and I shall see you soon xx

When I saw your card I actually thought it was real stitching. It looks great. I would not have guessed it was drawn on! Great card, as always Sarah. I love the bear! Hope you have a lovely Thursday. xx
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the faux stitching Sarah, I thought you'd got the sewing machine out! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sarah. I love stitching on a card, but it seems like every time I get the inkling to add some, the sewing machine has the wrong colour of thread in it! I'm much too lazy to change it out. lol. sending hugs :)
