In Stitches

This card I made for my friend's birthday is a perfect fit for this week's challenge at Paper Play Challenges

I simply stamped the name (see D's) onto patterned paper. then pierced it at regular intervals with a needle, then backstitched it.

next time I'm going to do the same but chain stitch it.

two challenges and more new stampotique

The theme at paperplay challenges is distressing so I thought that I would enter this card I made using some more of the new stamps from Stampotique. This uses Jo's new large butterfly and flower cube as well as the french text on the wings.

This also fits the orange theme at theme thursday

Stamps are also available from Happy Daze in the UK

Hearts and flowers but not a valentine

The theme at Paperplay challenges is Hearts and Flowers but NOT a Valentine.
brilliant theme
I made this card using Stamps from Stampotique.
This card is a perfect example of what happens when a one layer card goes wrong. I'd stamped and masked the images perfectly and then SMUDGE!!!!!!!
so I trimmed down the main image, embellished and mounted, et voila! a save!


The background uses a flower stencil and some heart sequin waste with victorian velvet distress ink.

Stamps used:
9107 heart flowers
9088 may all your weeds be wildflowers
9072 fleur pixie #1
