Day 319 - In Stitches

I love the look of stitching on the card (sewing, too!) and whether done by hand or using a machine, the results just add that certain something that can make a card extra special.  I think it's the kind of thing that really sets it apart from a store bought card, you know what I mean?

So the challenge is to incorporate TWO TYPES of stitching on your card.  For instance, Hannah used a straight stitch and a herringbone stitch on her card, check it out:


So beautifully done, Hannah, and I really like the way you've incorporated this precious Stitchy image!

If you prefer not to use the real thing, you can try your hand at faux stitching instead -- it can also be done beautifully.  No need to get too fancy, a little bit of stitching goes a long way!

This  might also be the time to try a stitch you've never done before...

Great challenge -- I've been into sewing on my lo's. So seems to make sense to do it on a card also.
