Double D - Stitches

Dear Ones~

This time over at Double D we are in stitches - LITERALLY. That's the challenge, any kind of stitching.

Here is our Mood Board for inspiration:

And here is my card:

I recently found this adorable die set from Sizzix. It's called Embroidery Thinlits, and it actually punches the holes so you can cross stitch. It's not as small a thread count as I like, but it was fun to stitch on paper with embroidery floss. For the background I stamped the images on copy paper, crumpled it up, and then inked it up direct to paper with GKD Sandy Beach Ink. Then I tore the edges to create a vintage look. Gina K had recently done this technique in one of her Stamp & Chat videos. Pretty fun to do. And then I thought it would be cute to include a real needle as an embellishment.

The Ingredients:

GKD Kraft and Powder Blue Card Stock

Sizzix Embroidery Thinlits

DMC Embroidery Floss

SU Seaside Spray Ink

GKD Sandy Beach and Powder Blue Ink

SU Very Versailles Stamp Set
