Faux Stitching Challenge

Time for a Jacksonbelle Embellishments Challenge. Lindsey LOVES faux stitching! Your challenge this week is to add some stitching to your cards - wether it be faux or real. We would love to see your designs, so please use the keyword JBE037 when uploading to SCS.

I was super excited to see this week's challenge. I love faux stitching and use it a lot on my cards. It's quick, easy to do and adds so much detail. I normally do straight faux stitching with a white gel pen, but I decided to do something a little different this time. The October Afternoon paper that I used here reminded me of a baby blanket, so I did a blanket stitch. All you do is pierce holes around the image, then draw straight lines from the hole to the edge of the paper. Finally you take your marker and draw a fine edge around the outside. To make the stitching look even more real, I like to add a button. Here I attached a Basic Grey Ambrosia button with brown Scrapper's Floss. I used Mojo 71 for the layout. I can't wait to see what y'all come up with.
