Crafty Cardmakers 33 - Stitching.

Good afternoon girls and I hope it is a lovely day where you are. It's beautiful here today again. Yesterday was lovely too and as we went down to Glasgow to the SECC for the craft show it was so nice to be in the sun when the sun came up. My friend and I got the bus at 6.30am but some of the ladies on our bus left a lot earlier! I was glad to leave my jacket in the bus as it always gets warm as you go round the hall. I have some lovely new stash to play with but first I had to get this card done. Yes of course it should have been done and scheduled a few days ago but between problems finding some of my Halloween stuff to make cards for the grandkids, another DT card to make and no Internet on Friday evening it didn't get done!!

But here it is now. I have to admit it was a very quick card so I hope you like it. Over at Crafty Cardmakers we'd like to see some stitching on your card or project. We don't mind if it's real or faux stitching. I didn't really have a choice, for speed it had to be faux!


I used :-
Image :- Cute square (trimmed to rectangle shape) from LOTV.
DP :- MME Wonderful Winter.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Snowflakes :- Martha Stewart punch.
Swirls :- Cottage Cutz.
Faux stitching with American Crafts precision pen.
Glamour Dust, Sakura glitter gel pen, Poppy Promarker, glue pen.

As I said this was a really quick card. It had to be and it's surprising how quick you can be when you have to be. I just hope Vix isn't too mad with me! I used a red base card to give a nice border round my first layer of DP. I love these cute images from LOTV and being pre-coloured they save a lot of time. I added some glitter to the image and round the sentiment for a bit of glitz. Some glue on the swirls and snowflakes, some Glamour Dust and you're sorted.

I'm going to enter some challenges with this card :-
Sketch and Stash :- Sketch.
Totally Papercrafts :- Bling it On.
ABC :-G is for Glitter.
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Let's get Punchy.
Papertake Weekly :- Sparkly and Bright.
Creative Card Crew :- Let's Punch It.
Simon Says Stamp challenge :- Punch Em.
Pile it On :- Beary Good Friends.

Well that's me girls, just in time to schedule this post. Hope you can join us in our stitching challenge. If you haven't been over to Crafty Cardmakers challenge blog do take a minute to pop over and see what my talented teamies have made to inspire you, you won't be disappointed. While you're there check out last weeks challenge, you still have till Sunday to enter and if you like using digis it's ideal for you.

If you have time to tell me what you think of my card I'd love to read what you think. Feedback is always good. Now I'm off to have my lunch and check out my new stash.

Thanks for looking.
