Seize the Birthday - Stitching, Faux or Real

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara has chosen the "Toppings" option of Stitching - Faux or Real   If you are not into the "topping" option you can just make it for a birthday.

 

 

I used Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rounded Rectangle die for the white panel, stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink and then embossed it with SU Subtle EF to give it a little texture. (click on the photo to see it larger and see the faux stitching around the die cut).  I added a thin Blushing Bride mat and rounded the corners with a punch.  I had this pretty floral spray from Catherine Pooler's Grateful Heart already stamped and die cut so I colored it with SU Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green Blends.  I added the top two single blooms to give it a little more fullness, and then mounted it with foam tape.

Now check out all the fabulous cards by the designers and our party guest over at Seize the Birthday.  There is so much great inspiration with faux and real stitching.  Hope to see you in our gallery.


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

    So pretty! The floral cluster looks beautiful. (Also, glad I wasn't the only one using faux stitching.)

    Loving that textured paper that you used and the clean stitching lines on the edges. Those beautifully colored pink flowers are perfect for this card.

    Aw JoAnn, you just always color flowers beautifully and this is no exception! I went the same route you did with the "faux" stitching, hey it still looks like stitched around the edges and it does bring a nice touch to the background piece!~Lovely card friend!
