Hello friends,
A new challenge starts today at Double D Challenges. Team Diane is hosting this challenge with the theme “Stitches”. You can include any kind of stitches … faux, real, 
dies or stamps. The team have created beautiful cards to inspire you – a visit to the Double D Challenge blog will be worthwhile. The prize to win for this challenge is a “Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Square die set” and absolutely gorgeous!
I used designer paper with a stitched pattern for my background. I then added squared layers which I framed with stamped rows of stitches. The layers were then framed with pearl strings. For a luxurious and velvety look I cut the sentiment from black metallic glitter paper. To finish off I embellished the card with a small charm, paper roses, wax cord bows and pearl hearts. Although not a favourite card of mine I really like the outcome of the sentiment cut from the glitter paper.
Challenges I entered:
- Creative Fingers Challenge #189 (ends 07/10) – Anything Goes
- Cuttlebug Mania Challenge (ends 07/14) – Anything Goes(Dies listed under Project details)
- Dies R Us Challenge #148 (ends 07/13) – Anything Goes using any brand of metal die that DRU sells (Dies used: Creative Expressions Craft Mini Expressions die “To a Dear Friend” (DEDME033))
The mannequins
The sentiment in glitter metallic paper and the “stitched” frames
The flowers and charm

This is fabulous. I have never seen a stamp that looks like wonky stitching, I LOVE it. Had to go look it up. Very Shabby Chic, which is right up your alley. Gorgeous card.

How appropriate to add the dressmaker forms on this cart with the whole thing being seamstress. I just love it.
