MFP Challenges Speedy 104 and FOSTV 17


This card is for two challenges at Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.:  Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge 104 (Sewing - real or faux); and FOSTV Challenge 17 (Flowers).

My DH bought me a new sewing machine so I could stitch on my cards, but I haven't taken the time to learn how yet!  So, faux stitching (and not very good at that) for this card.  I punched wholes and connected the dots - so to speak.

Card Recipe:

Stamp:  Sending Happy Thoughts by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.
Paper:  MFP CS
Ink:  Copics:  Y04, 02, 000; YG05, 03
Accessories:  Piercing tool and pad and tiny pearls

Thanks for stopping by - hope to see you again soon - later gator!

  5. That is some fine faux stitching, Kathy. Love the pretty card. My sis gave me a sewing machine about 3 yrs. ago and I still don't use it. Got it out and learned about it but not well enough and never had time to try it again. Ugh!

  12. Such a sweet, happy card. Love the yellow and the stitching. I find that when I stitch it causes me such anxiety until it is finished. Seems like if the thread breaks, I really mess up trying to go back and start again. Faux stitching is safer, I think. :)
