Creative Inspirations Challenge #17 - Stitching

Hey all, Happy Sunday! Love Sundays, but don’t they go quick, fastest day of the week for me. This is another scheduled post, so please Mr Blogger, be good to me and post it!

004
This card is for Creative Inspirations, which is a challenge I have never entered before. They would like to see some stitching on your cards, whether it be real of faux. Well I think with me being addicted to the sewing machine I could have quite easily entered all my cards for this one LOL. Just love stitching. I have gone all pinky with this card too, its a kinda modern twist to vintage and I quite like it. This little Tilda is actually a crimbo one, but I have sorted disguised the little bit of holly in her hair and Voila!…… a birthday stamp, LOL…...I like to get the most of my stamps. She was a gift from a very, very kind lady, along with yesterdays cutie Tilda too {thanks sweetie, mwah}

005
What I have used:

Image – Magnolia coloured with distress inks
Papers – Laundry Line
Flowers – Wild Orchid Crafts and Hobby Craft
Sentiment – Elzybells
Pins – In Stock Here
Lace – In Stock Here
Ribbon – Stash
Gems – Pm
Tools – Sewing Machine, Stampin Up Slot Punch, Distress Inks, Glamour Dust, Glimmer Mist, Nesties. Martha Stewart Doily Punch and Leone Em Punch.

I have glimmer misted all the flowers and sprinkled them with glamour dust, the camera has really picked up the sparkle on them today.

006
For a change the inside I have made a little pocket, which the tag is sitting in, and perfect for adding so money of a gift voucher too.

007
Many many thanks for stopping by again today, so very much appreciated! Enjoy your Sunday, hope that it is restful for you all and you get a bit of crafting in. Try and catch you tomorrow if I get back early enough to craft.

Much love to you all!

Hugs Tab xxx
