faux stitching

Day 3 – Hearts a Flutter

January 15, 2013 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Woohoo! We're on Day 3 of the Create with Connie and Mary Preview Week. Have you been enjoying the FREE TUTORIALS we've provided for you? Today we have another one…there is a darling project by Julie Edmonds, one of our Design Team Members! Check it out over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Since her theme was "stitching"…I added a touch of "faux stitching" to MY card!

A very clean and simple card…quick to make up a BUNCH of them!

The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Primrose Petals, folded in half.
The next layer is 4 x 5 1/4 and I used the Needlepoint folder to run a line of "cross stitch" across the bottom portion. Under it is a 1/4" strip of More Amore Designer Paper.
I stamped the scallop heart with Basic Black on Primrose Petals and cut it with the Hearts a Flutter framelit, and stamped the little hearts image with Pink Pirouette on Whisper White and cut with the small heart framelit.
I added a trio of rhinestones in the larger one and a single rhinestone in the smaller heart.
Finally, I added the Sending a Kiss greeting from Petite Pairs in Basic Black.

As I said..clean and simple…
