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.

I will link to Addicted to Stamps and More - Any Occasion

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

Happy Stamping,

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and The Flower Challenge

I always love making floral cards so I am sharing a card I made for a friend and linking it to The Flower Challenge and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Add A Die Cut.  I used several die cuts.  

I used Catherine Pooler Designs Grateful Heart stamps and matching dies.   This is such a pretty floral set with different flowers.  I colored the flowers with SU Blends and then trimmed the leaves on the ends and glued them to follow the shape of the oval.  I also used SU Layering Ovals and Stitched Ovals dies.

The sentiment is from TCP Studio.  I added 3 small pearls under the sentiment and mounted the flowers and the ovals with foam tape.  The pattern paper is from my stash.  I also used black mats to make the elements pop on the white background.

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

Happy Stamping,
