You Have Me In Stitches

365 Cards Day 129

My 2nd attempt at this challenge is this card.
I didn't read the 'rules' correctly and my first card only had a couple of little stitched flourishes in the corners....bad girl!!
I have to do a stitched image!
So I routed out a brass template and pierced around the flower and inside the spiral in the middle for the flower onto a large emb. Nestie 'Pinking Circle'. The embossing or texture of the card hasn't scanned.
The paper used was Basic Grey 'Offbeat'
I did a further piercing of a Bazzill In Stitch'z for a stem on top of the paper.
This was finished off with a little 'sun' tag and some Doodlebug rub-on letters along the stem to say 'flower'
A little piece of pinked bazzill sun is peaking out of the top corner lol!!

Well the card was completed through lots of tears as I watched the memorial service for dear Michael Jackson....may his soul rest in peace, God Bless him.

Just a few stitches..

This card covers 2 challenges, but should have been 3 until I realised that 365 Cards needs a stitched image as the focal point...hey!ho!!...back to the drawing board for that one lol!!
So we have these two challenge blogs to cover :-
Cute Card Thursday Ch. 67 - 'Stitch in time'
Sketch & Stash ch. 14 - 'Given sketch + Ribbon'
This was a great sketch as always and the stitching challenge made me bring out my new Bazzill In Stitch'z which my dear forum buddy Kerrie bought me last year and I haven't opened it until today...oh! the shame!..thank goodness for these challenges.
Also new is my Kay & Co. 6x6 pad 'Isabella'...new to me anyway, I am way behind anyone else. :-D
3 diff. sheets of the pad of paper were used
The pearl brads are from Eyelet Outlet
The image is from a craft buddy
Colouring medium - a mix of Copics and PM's
The flower was built up from 4 diff. sizes and actually is more like the colour of the images' boots than the pink it has come out in the photo. :/
The Base card, thread and Ribbon out of my stash.
