Stitching

By
Hello - it's Saturday and that means another Christmas challenge over on the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and this week Patricia would like to see some stitching on our cards - real or faux


Here is my card


Needles and thread are hard to find in my house so I went with the faux stitching! I drew the stitches on with a fine end of a marker pen.

Stamps: Delightful Dozen, Pines and Poinsettias (retired)
Ink: Early Espresso, Chery Cobbler, Always Artichoke
Card Stock:Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Naturals Ivory

    What a beautiful card! I love the pine cones in the corners. The center text is beautifully framed by the die cuts and the faux stitching.
    Thanks for your nice comment.

Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
