Hi! Hope this finds
you well and happy! Loving this spring like weather we are enjoying in my part
of the UK. So nice to see the sun shine!
Well here I am with my DT post for the MilkCoffee Showcase and the showcase theme today is Stitching:
Real or Faux.
Now I always admire stitching on cards and marvel at those
who do it. Last year I won a sewing
machine through Creativity magazine and the poor thing has never seen the light
of day! Well I thought I would change
that and branch out into unknown territory. However, as I was unable to find the power
cable or the pedal (put
somewhere safe of course) that put pay to that! Saved in the final hour some might say. I couldn't possibly comment!
So here is my creation for the showcase and it is rather a
crazy affair I have to say. The fabulous image is Tiffany in Wonderland and
I went all ‘Lewis Carroll’ on the poor girl!
The papers are Antique
Library from Wild Rose Studio
which I got from My Mum’s Craft Shop here and the clock die is by Tattered Lace. I
love this die it is so quirky (bit like me) and I felt the need to draw a
crackle effect on the face for an aged look.
I was going to incorporate a ‘Drink Me’ bottle into the
design but plumped for a cup and teapot instead, well I had some stamps that
were suitable! I also wanted a Mad
Hatter top hat on there somewhere too (I just want everything) but as I lucked out with that one I had to draw my own.
This may explain why it’s a bit wonky.
All the images are coloured with my fab Spectrum Noir pencils which I am
loving!
The playing cards are from a Christmas cracker (yes, really)
and the hearts were cut using a Papermania Palm Punch.
So to the actual theme of the showcase; I used hand
stitching down the spine of my ‘book’ and faux doodle stitching around the
paper edges. See, I managed to get it in
there somewhere!
Check out all the amazing creations by the showcase team here and visit the MilkCoffee shop to see all the gorgeous images available. And don’t forget to join in the current
challenge on the challenge blog which is Emboss It! Wet or Dry!
Thanks so much for looking!
See ya!
Colourful hugs
