Crafty catz DT - All Stitched Up

Good Morning lovely people!

How is everyone today? My apologies for being totally AWOL of late. I took up my new job on February 4th and I've been manic ever since. The same week also saw the start of a brand new youth group at Church on a Friday night. Throw in Fencing, Choir and the Magazine editing and free time is a dream! I promise I'll try and be better about getting round to see you all!

Right, enough rambling and on to this weeks challenge for Crafty Catz which has been set by the lovely Kim, who wants to see stitching - real or faux - on your cards this week. We are sponsored by Alota Stamps who are offering our lucky winner a $15 gift voucher.

We were given this lovely little image to play with and I coloured her with promarkers in the following colours: ivory, blush, dusky pink, pastel pink, dusky rose, pear green, honeycomb, china blue and blue pearl. The papers are from My Minds Eye - Pretty Please Spring Papers. The ribbon and pips are from stash.

I edged the base card with faux stitches and then layered up the circles, which I had added faux stitching too previously. I then cut a slit top and bottom in line with the stitching, which I threaded the ribbon through. I mounted the image and added pips in co-ordinating colours to finish the design.

So that's it. Thanks for stopping by and until next time, happy crafting!
