The card I have today is for the Challenge “Stitching” at Splendid Stamping with The Greeting Farm. You can use any type of stitching (machine, hand, faux…). My type of stitching is “bad” (just as well they don’t judge the sewing). The loops from the back have come through to the front. I think I might have threaded the machine incorrectly. 😐 Actually I quite like the effect even though not what I was aiming for. The stitching is used to “ground” Anya – I know it’s her birthday but she still should be grounded.
I also added 2 rows of pierced holes on the sentiment block. You might be able to see it more clearly here –
The stamp is from The Greeting Farm “Miss Anya Bags” one of the 3 lovely girls in this set. I have coloured her with Copics and paper pieced her bag with paper from a Teresa Collins Paper Pad “Spring Fling”. The sentiment is from PTI as are the stamped butterflies. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
This might be the last card for a couple of days as I have appointments now until Thursday. You never know though I might get a bit antsy and just have to make something late at night. 😆
Bye for now,
Florence
