the challenge is "A stitch in time" and they would love to see stitching on your projects this week, real or faux .
Well I have gone all out and stitched properly....
(took me two days.. not 48 hours, that would be daft, just a few of hours over two days)
It looks so much nicer, although I think if I had a sewing machine then I could have just wizzed round the edges with a cross stitch which would have looked just as nice..
(rolls eyes)
but I don't have a sewing machine so hand sewing it is.
(Toni... that isn't being added to the list..lol)
OOOO look there's bob...
your now thinking I am totally mad...but I am not...just half..
Bob is the wooden Pinocchio that Paul made..
He sits on the PC table... no bother at all really.
This is a 15cm square white card, then I have used Purple miri card as backing paper,
then layered my sewing on top. then I used a Mandala
for your info..
A Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means circle.
full of useless info me...rofl
I am also entering this card into a couple more challenges, I usually do one card for each
but thought I would combine today
One stitch at a time - Anything Goes
Allsorts Challenge - Free and Easy July
Anyway thanks for stopping by xx

LOL at the comment about a sewing machine...I've got one and never use it (probably because it is buried under a ton of stuff in the 'craftroom').
This is a beautiful card Claire and the stitching is lovely.
