What a marvelous weekend I had at a craft retreat! Twice a year we rent a big house and spend three days laughing, eating, and sharing. Ten of us this year all doing different things - there are quilters, cross-stitch, knitters, wood burning, and me with paper and ink.
My card was inspired by the new sketch challenge this week at Atlantic Hearts, and we are collaborating with the Double Trouble challenge to "Stitch It Up." Well, mine comes by using stitched dies, but that counts :-) Check out their post and get into some crafty trouble.
WELCOME to Challenge #180 - Let the Troubles Begin!
Monday, November 18th thru Sunday, December 1st
says, "Our requirement for this challenge is simple... use stitching somewhere in your project. There are many possibilities for using paper scraps, stencils, and even embossing folders to create patchwork, quilting, and/or knit designs. Consider using punch- or die-cutting, hand or machine sewing, piercing, hand-drawn stitching, needlework or cross-stitching, etc... so, keep calm and stitch on. 'Stitch It Up' and show us your creativity
I stenciled a gate fold card base and used Gina K Designs stitched dies for the label, circles, and sentiment.
