Dream Valley Challenge 20 - Stitching

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

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,

How fab is this card!! Stitching does take ages (which is why I usually cheat lol!) but it looks so good. I love how Tilda is sitting on the lace, too - I hope she doesn't have a ticklish bum hee hee!!! I'm sure the Birthday Gil will love this!

luv, Mags x
