handstitching

Hi!

Lately I have been doing a lot of handstitching on my projects and what perfect timing...the CREATE blog is having another CARDS challenge and it's handstitching! :)

 

So I drew this cute cat, cut out a template and traced it on orange cardstock that I had already stamped with Hero Arts Large Canvas Stripes (LOVE that stamp). I also created my 'notebook page' using Hero Arts Ledger cling...then I lightly using a ruler drew a few lines in red. I also used SRM stickers (Sticker Sentiments #51003 Happy Birthday)...I often cut the stickers up like in this case...I just wanted the word 'birthday'.

LOVE to do handstiching...very theraputic BUT not when you have 3 bambinos running around yelling MAMA, MAMA, MAMA.... I need to get myself a sewing machine!!

Also make sure to pop by on Monday for a little 'One Buck Monday'...if you like to use digi stamps I've got a new one and it'll sell for $1 all day Monday before I send it off to Squigglefly.

Have a great weekend!
