Hi everyone, another Friday and another challenge over at Daring Cardmakers. This weeks challenge is "In Stitches" hosted by Shabneez and she wants to see stitching on your cards, this can be real stitching or faux stitching.
I used a selection of sewing related stamps with faux stitching and added some machine zigzag stitching in a contrast colour, yellow crystals and white domes with a little yellow paint.
I used papermilldirect Cumbria colour card for the card blank and the stamped panel, it stamped and coloured beautifully, had a soft feel and I will be trying some water colouring or foiling with it for my next project. I thought the stamps looked vintage so went with a vintage colour palette distressing and blending the edges with vintage photo distress ink.
The stamps I used were AALL and create #27, Carabelle Studio Taches et Coutures and the dress form and sentiment were from an old set which was free with a magazine (which has started to disintegrate now and go sticky). The tape measure paper was from my stash.
