La-La Land - Stitching

Good morning, gee what a miserable day - it is so blustery and raining. A good day for crafting though and we have a really lovely challenge for you all to take part in this week on La-La Land Weekly Challenge ........
STITCHING

It can be real or faux, just let us see it somewhere on your creation. Remember you do not have to use a LLLC image but we would love it if you do. You can also combine challenges, so you have no excuse not to play.


I have used Rosie this week, Rosie with bird to be exact and you can buy her from the online store . I have created faux stitching around the edge of my image by pricking holes and then drawing lines between them with a fine marker. I have followed this weeks sketch on Create4fun that my good friend Bev made ... love it sweetie! I really like the bold colours, one day I will make lots of pale pastel coloured cards (do you believe me, lol ..... nah, me neither).




Full details of how to enter are on the weekly blog , you can also have a look at all the fab inspiration provided by the DT an GD.
Just off to get ready to meet a friend for lunch, has been ages since I saw her so will be lovely to catch up. It has been so busy at work recently and I promise to get round to you all this week at some time.
Have a lovely day xxx
