Hello and welcome crafty peeps! We have a fun challenge for you this week at SHOPPING OUR STASH: A Stitch In Time - for this challenge, we want to see stitching on your project, whether that be from a sewing machine, cross stitching, faux stitching, etc. You get the gist. Here's my card:
and the inside:
I dug out my Sew Easy tool for this one, and used a few of the different attachments for my stitching. (Yes, I know my rows look wonky. Maybe I meant for that to happen! LOL!) My card base is a dark grey, but I lightly sponged over it with Gathered Twigs DI to get some brown tones in it. (I had no taupe card stock, so I made it. Sort of. It definitely looks more taupe irl.) The panel is popped up on foam squares, and a simple sentiment was added.
I hope you find some time to play along this week at Shopping Our Stash. We'd love to see your project in the gallery. For more inspiration, do check out what my teammies created, and leave them some love on their blogs! Thanks for visiting, and stay cool - it's another hot one out there!

Great take on the challenge Chris, you haven't seen wonky until you look at mine. Fab. job.
ReplyDeleteI always wish that the sewing machine and I didn't have a hate-hate relationship because I think stitching on cards is so cool. Case in point - your creation is simple, chic and fab!
ReplyDeleteI really love the look of this card! That stitching adds all kinds of interest... and I'm down with the wonkiness-- glad you planned it that way!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to add texture for our tactile challenge at Less is More! This looks great with the pop of colours against the darker background. Thanks so much for sharing! Esther (Less is More)
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhhhhh that's perfect! i love the "wonky" rows AND that very cool CUSTOM color cardstock! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! Love the stitching (which is only real if it is wonky - at least that is what I tell myself when I try to stitch!!). Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing, love the three colours of stitching. Brilliant idea! Thanks for playing at CC&S.

ReplyDeleteHello Chris: I've never heard of an Easy Sew tool, is this like a sewing machine? But, whatever it is, you did a fantastic job with this stitching, love all 3 different designs, just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is one awesome interpretation of this challenge.
Hugs,
