Greetings! It's another TLT challenge, this time issued by sweet Anita - Stitching Faux or Real...I decided to do some of both!I used Shopping Nikki and found something really cool while working on this! You can see I added zig zag stitching to the main card, the decorative rectangle and then faux stitching on the main panel.
I really enjoyed coloring Shopping Nikki; I decided to add white enamel for her buttons but before the enamel was totally dry, I smashed them flat - how cool is that? I LOVE how they turned out!
The rest is straightforward; nothing fancy, although I did paper piece each of the 4 shopping bags. Love how that looks!
Won't you join us with your very own creation with faux or real stitching? There is always a fabulous prize to be won and we love seeing what you create! You can find all the deets HERE!
Hope to see your creation this week; thanks for stopping by and have a great week! Hugs, ~M.

ReplyDeleteLove this Michele!!! Your choice of colours and pp is flabulous. Also the zig zag stitching which I used to do more than straight because it was more forgiving! Super card xx
