'S is for Sew What?'
(Real or Faux Stitching)

Prize - $15 Gift Certificate!
I've used a Stampendous stamped image called 'Bethlehem Nights'...I stamped it using Memento 'Nautical Blue' ink, then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder. I added a little colour to the buildings, stars and clear patches of sky using watercolour pencils. I distressed the edges a little, then matted it on to some matching blue card, adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Extra - Anything Christmas
- Everybody Art - Anything Goes
- Happy Little Stampers (Christmas) - Song (O Little Town of Bethlehem)
- Jingle Belles - O Little Town of Bethlehem
- My Time to Craft - Stitching
- Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Beautiful!! Thank you for joining us at My Time To Craft :)
WOW! I love the sky, somebody you created !! It has so much anxiety and tension! Yes, one of the most beautiful ways to create the evening sky. White buildings add contrast and the whole thing is just perfect. Your card is my favorite :-) Good luck.
