I found a new challenge this week...well new to me anyway...it's a sketch challenge called Card Patterns...and you all know I can't resist a good sketch! lol I managed to combine it with a couple of other challenges: the Cupcake Craft Challenge is asking us to distress our cards; and the Simon Says Stamp Challenge wants to see stitching. The image is from the 'Micey Day' set by Penny Black, the stripey paper is by My Mind's Eye ('Adore')...I distressed the edges using inks and my distressing tool. I used my CutterBee Bug to pierce the holes, and gel pens to add the 'stitches'...so much quicker (and neater!) than my real sewing! lol The ribbon and flowers are from Poppicrafts, and I couldn't resist adding a few pieces of card candy.
Gorgeous card, I love the distressing and faux stitching.
