Let's see some stitching @ Totally PaperCrafts

 

Good Morning

 

What lovely weather are we having at the moment here in the UK.

I hope where ever you are the weather is also being kind.

 

Today there is a new challenge starting over at Totally PaperCrafts.

 

This week Suzette is hosting the challenge and she has chosen a great theme:

 

'Stitching on a Card'

 

I must say it was a real challenge for me as I've never used my sewing machine in my paper crafting projects before. I have faux stitched before but this time I thought I'd go with the real thing.

 

I used an image from this week's sponsor Crafty Sentiments 'Fancy Dress'

 

I have coloured her in with Copics & Chalks

 

 

I then had a play with my Frantage for the first time that I brought a few weeks ago when doing a bit of retail therapy!!!

 

After stitching the paper onto the mats I distressed the edges with 'tea dye' distress ink.

 

The little fence was cut out using a MB die.

 

So come on get stitching I want to see what you create!

 

Hop on over to the main challenge blog for more great inspiration.
