In stitches ...

As well as papercrafts I love working with textiles - cross stitch, embroidery, sewing, knitting and other textile crafts - so I was delighted to read on Virginia's View Challenge that the theme is 'Stitches'.  This was going to be a chance to combine two of my loves and also a new challenge, so off I went to find inspiration card and threads.  Looking through my stash I came across a circle that I had already hand stitched and so a plan came together and this is my card.


I've left the layout very simple just adding a sentiment and popping the circle onto some dimensional adhesive.  All there is to do now is pop over and enter the challenge.

 Enjoy!

    Beautiful stitching, great colour choices and I love it with the (Craft Stamper?) sentiment.

      Thanks for the kind comments. Yes it is the Craft Stamper stamp - I had a senior moment tonight and forgot to list what I had used!
