the challenge is being set by yours truly and I decided to go with stitching. Machine, hand, faux, stickers, rubons....whatever, as long as it looks like stitching.
It's funny, it wasn't too long ago that a stitching challenge would have me grumbling and wanting to hide under the covers. [Not that I was scared of stitching. Wanting to hide under the covers (and sleep) is a basic state of being for me actually.] I hated stitching. But then I got a sewing machine and I hated stitching slightly less. But only slightly as I couldn't seem to stitch straight. But then I discovered purposefully sloppy sewing and sewing and I became good friends. In fact, you'll see it on a lot of my cards now.
Like this one.....
Digi is Take Me to the Moon from Tiddly Inks. And, as you can see, I've got stitching running all along the outside there.
Sew, (Tee hee, that one's almost too easy.) why not run(ning stitch.....I better quit the sewing jokes, I'm running out of good material. Ha!) over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
This is just super cute and perfect for a little baby boy.

Oh, Joanne took my sewing funny about being in stitches. Your sloppy sewing looks amazing on this super cute card. This version of creative torture wasn't too bad, but I think I will stick with the faux kind. Fabulous card and fun challenge.

ReplyDeleteI don't hate real stitching and sewing. Truly. But on cards... I'm still on your level one. :)
Love the card! Off to bed...

I enjoy stitching my cards, but I hate to drag the sewing machine out - therefore I faux stitch! Your card is happily sewn and cleverly cute at the same time! Such a sweet baby card :)
