Good Morning :)
It's my second GDT card for Sweet Stampin',
and this week it's another great challenge, one of my favourites :)
It's stitching!
We'd love to see some faux, hand or machine stitching on your projects.
I thought I'd try out one of the fancy stitches on my machine (they rarely get used otherwise)
but it looks like I'd definitely need more practise turning corners!
It's much easier to sew on fabric than card..... lol

Most of the elements I've used on this card, I've had for a while.
The papers are Bo Bunny 'Persuasion' and Bo Bunny 'double dot'
The image is this stamp by Penny Black and I coloured her with Copic markers.
Skin ~ E00, E11, R20 Hair ~ E29, E31, E57 Dress RV000, RV02, RV04 RV10, YG03, YG11
Shadow & Ground ~ BG10, C3, C5
Blender Pen 0
I stamped the image on white card and cut it out using Nestabilities Labels 8.
While the card was still in the die, I sponged around the edges with Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar distress inks.
The sentiment is computer generated with 'atype' font, then I trimmed each word to the same size and added faux stitching around the edges.
The pink brads are Basic Grey and the ribbon is from my stash.
I added Glamour Dust to her jewellery, her bag, the bottom of her dress and the tails on her scarf.
Once I get started with a glue pen it's hard to stop!
I hope you enjoy my card today and will enter the challenge yourself.
I'd love to see what you create :)
Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
Have a great weekend :)
Take care
Sarah xx
