DYSU 65 - Sew It!

Hi all, today brings us another new challenge from DYSU, and this week would like you to...


....add some stitching real or faux to your projects!

I love adding stitching to my cards, it gives a nice bit of texture without adding too many bulky layers, especially if you want to keep it flat for posting.

Today I have a relatively flat card for me, although there are layers, they are not raised at all.



I have made a sympathy card, using the tree image from Waltzingmouse Stamps Blessed by You set, and layered onto a background stamped with text style writing also from WMS Text It set.



I have cut two panels in bronze and green textured card, and edged them with a martha Stewart leaf punch. I kept the design fairly simple, as a sympathy card doesn't need a lot of embellishing.
