Hello there Crafty Friends! I'm back again with my 2nd card as Surprise Guest at Seize the Birthday Challenge. The theme for this challenge is 'FAUX or REAL STITCHING' but the themes are always optional, so you can enter any card, as long as it's a Birthday Card.
I included some real stitching in the centre of the rose. I chose the Pinpoint background, because it's like stitching without the thread:)
The dies are from various Altenew die sets. I have them all mixed together, so I'm not sure of the name of the sets. I die-cut the flower from a smooshed background. The leaves were coloured with Karin Markers and Cosmic Shimmer Powder.
Dies: Altenew Flowers; Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Plate
Stamp: Inspired by Stamping (sadly no longer around)
I hope you'll visit Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the design team and then join in the challenge with us.
I'm also entering the following challenges:-

ReplyDeleteJenny, this is a fabulous card! I am so happy to see you as the special guest at STB! What a great idea to use a background plate for the faux stitching, wish I had thought of that! thank you for your inspiration at STB and being our guest!
ReplyDeleteLove your way of adding stitching, subtle and doesn't interfere with the rest of the card. And the background as well, in fact I had thought that was your 'faux stitching'!! Thank you for this wonderful inspiration!
