Designer's Choice Challenge at
The House that Stamps Built this week is hosted by Michelle and she is challenging us (and you!) to use stitching in our cards -faux or real. I have a little sewing machine for crafts somewhere but have never used it.... So I used my Scor-Bug and a thin purple marker to do faux stitching around the edge of the white diagonal piece and the green embossed (Cuttlebug) piece. I also distressed the edges of that piece. Repeat Impression's Lily of the Valley stamp was stamped in the center of a diagonal white piece and colored then separated into 4 pieces and reassembled on a larger purple piece. The last step was to add white Flower Soft on the flower stamp.
