Timeless Tuesday #249 ~ Stitch It Up!

One last post this week. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas here. House is decorate inside and out, and there is promise of snow soon. As long as you don't have to go out in it, it's beautiful. Lol
The challenge this week is to use stitching. We can use either real or faux. Well, I chose faux.

And here is my card for this challenge.


On navy CS, I stamped the snowflakes from the Handmade Snowflakes stamp set at Flourishes. I used versa mark and white embossing powder. Then I did the embossed resist technique and sponged navy ink over the top and rubbed off the snowflakes with a paper towel. The sentiment is from the same set and is heat embossed with silver glitter. On the bottom, I used silver threads and a sequin snowflake with a rhinestone in the center. Cut out the sentiment with a spellbinder die and did the faux stitching around the edges as well as the whole card. Last, that little red glitter heart that I seem to be putting on every card that I do. Just love that touch of love.

Thanks for stopping by and I do appreciate your comments.
