BasicGrey Challenges #25 ~ Stitching

Happy Saturday... which means we have a new challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges...

Stitching... real or faux. I have added quite a bit of faux stitching along the edges, sewn the button in to place and even drawn a few stitches on the veins of the leaves under the felt flower. Still loving the 3d flower, it turns out so lovely in felt!I just haven't had the opportunity to use my TH bird cage die and thought I would try cutting some canvas, I've tinted it a little with distress inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, Maoleidigh and Dillon are feeling a lot better although I caught the tummy bug too, luckily it only lasted for the day thanks for your well wishes... So, we tried to have an easy day and visited the pictures to see toy story 3 well... Dillon has gotten so scared and frightened of one of the toys in the movie that he was a nightmare to put to bed and even to settle the four or so times he came out of his room. God Bless him he burst into tears in the theatre, well he's asleep right now let hope his dreams are sound.

ICSketches #35 ~ Praying for you

It's Tuesday and time for my design team card for Inspirational Card Sketches...

Well, Dawn has designed a fantastic sketch as always! Hope you have a look at the other design teams fantastic makes!

I'm afraid I needed to make a sympathy card for a teacher who recently passed at Dillon's school. God Bless.

I couldn't wait to use these digi papers and went for a floral vintage look. I stamped the frame and sentiment on card, cut out and distressed the edges slightly. I've added a selection of gems around the decorative frame.

Mini sewing machine came out again for a little stitching on the base papers. The embellishments have been hand made from air dry clay (love this stuff) I used a little glossy accents to give good adhesion.
