Truly Scrumptious & Inky Impressions DT Challenge Card

image

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Well today is Wednesday and that means it's challenge time over at Truly Scrumptious and Inky Impressions. We have another fabulous sketch for you to follow this week with the added theme of a recipe which is 3 flowers, 3 brads and 3 gems/pearls.

image 

And the challenge this week over at Inky Impressions is to make your own DP with the extra of using stitches on your card either faux or real.

Our sponsors this week over at over at Truly Scrumptious are Home Impressions

So this is what I came up with. For my card I've used the gorgeous Angelica Bunny Hugs from Inky Impressions and I've coloured her using my ProMarker pens.

The paper I created myself by using a couple of stamps and added real stitches. I think I'm getting used to my little sewing machine now as the stitches came out quite straight, lol.

The flowers I made myself by using my Peony die from Spellbinders and the pearls/brads are from my stash.
