This week's Heart2Heart Challenge is stitching. It can be either real or Faux stitching. I just love to add stitching to my projects. I rarely have one that doesn't have some sort of stitching somewhere. So it was hard for me to choose. So I think I will use a layout with Real stitching and a card with Faux Stitching.
This layout uses stitching in ways other than the straight stitching or zigzag that I do quite a bit. I wanted to show that adding a trail for the butterfly with stitching and a few X's here and there add a dimensional touch to the project. My next example will be a Faux Stitching example on a 3x3 card.
Here on the Tulip Cardstock strip it looks like white stitches along the top and bottom edges. This is a really quick but effective way of having the look of stitches but done without thread or floss. This technique works great with the CTMH cardstock because of our white core. So you dry emboss a line on the back of your piece. Turn it over and sand to expose the white core and then pierce holes across the length. The result is a look of white thread stitching. Give both ways a try. Stitching adds so much to a layout or card or any project and is easy to do with a sewing machine, by hand or even Faux.
