Challenge #9 - Stitching (real or faux)
I had so much fun making this card :) :), the background was a large background stamp with a stitching theme which I used with gold ink. The border was cut with a Desire die. For the swirls I used a Clarity stamp and blue and gold ink. I then stitched over some of the swirls with black thread. The needle and thread die are from X-Cut and the flower dies from Desire. The flowers were made from the scraps of card base I had left over and finished off with black Pan Pastels and Silver varnish spray. For the sentiment I double stamped to try and give a shadow effect, have to admit I did not get it quite right but it still looks cool. To finish off I added the blue buttons so the whole card not only follows the stitching them but also items used in stitching :)

I love the fact that you've stitched over the stamped swirls. The needle and thread die is lovely, I haven't seen it before. I haven't any Desire dies but your border is beautiful and I'm tempted. Hazel x
