Today at Splitcoast Stampers the challenge is to sew on your card - either real or faux. I have only done faux stitching on cards before. So today I stitched for real on my card for the very first time ever!! I really don't know why I've never actually sewn on my cards before. I like to sew and have a machine? Hmm, just never did. I do like the look. This card is also for the Merry Monday Challenge at Always Playing with Paper. Each Monday Lesley gives us a sketch to follow to make a Christmas card. It's a great way to get a head start on those Christmas cards!! I'm also trying to get at least 5 Christmas cards completed each month for the monthly Christmas Card Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers, so this is for that challenge too.
Here's the card I made today.
All stamps are DRS Designs: (096D) 4 in 1 Snowflake Background, (613P) Plaid Background and (865G) Christmas Sentiment.
I used SU Night of Navy and Real Red for the plaid background on white CS. The little red snowflakes were cut with a CB die. The rhinestones were colored with a blue copic. I also used square nesties for the sentiment. Hope you like it.
until next time,

Very nice card, I really like the papers you used.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, thanks for the sweet comment. Yeah, I just got back from picking up my daughter at school and the roads are slippery here in Amherst (just a short distance from Toledo)!

Hi Shelia! I adore plaid so as soon as I saw your background I got a big smile, it looks fantastic! Love the snowflakes and the sentiment also!
ReplyDeleteI would love to sew on my cards but I have absolutely zero patience when it comes to that sort of thing :)
Thanks so much for your kind comments on your card, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out! Have a great night!
Love the stitching! the plaid paper is a great contrast to the stitching.
ReplyDeleteI love the plaid and the stitching! I've never tried sewing on a card but I love the look of it.
