Sticky Bits of Paper: Dream Valley Challenge 20

Hiya!

It's time for another challenge over at Dream Valley and this time we'd like to see your stitching! Hand stitching, machine stitching or faux stitching - it all counts!

We are being sponsored by the fabby One Stop Card Crafts who are kindly offering our winner a £10.00 voucher for their store :-)

This card is for my niece, Madison, who is 7 today! Happy birthday, Madison :-)

I followed a fab sketch from Stampin' for the Weekend but made it into an easle card - I thought it looked quite treasure-chest-y which is perfect for a pirate Tilda :-)

You can see my hand-stitching a bit better on this picture.... It took aaages but I think it was worth the effort :-)

A close up of the image....

I used:

Image - Magnolia

Promarkers

Papers - Papermania, Henbury Lane

Nesties

Lace, ribbon and pearls from stash

Computer generated sentiment

Good old needle and thread!

Challenges:

Creative Inspirations - All stitched up

Stampin' for the Weekend - Fab sketch

Please pop over to the challenge blog to see some fab inspiration from the other Dream Valley girls. Can't wait to see the entries we get :-)

Back again soon!

Love 'n' hugs,
