Christmas Card Challenges #26 -- Use stitching

Sunday, May 26, 2013

My card today is for this week's challenge at Christmas Card Challenges.  This week, our optional challenge is to use real or faux stitching on your cards.  

Even though this card is very simple, I love how it turned out.  I think it's the paper that I love so much.

Make sure to head over to the challenge blog to see what the other designers have for you. Bye for now!

Yes, that background paper is very fun. I like how the stitching and the twine also add a nice texture to the card. Very well done! Hope you are enjoying our summer like weather this weekend!

Hi Alanna, Wonderful card! It doesn't look simple to me! Anything that has machine stitching on it is rarely accomplished in my house! (tee,hee) There is just the right balance!
Hugs!!

Another winner. You should retire from being a CPA and spend full time making lovely cards (especially for your dear mom.)
