We've a brand new challenge over at HOC and it's all about sewing... Faux, hand or machine sewn its all good and we're looking forward to seeing some bewitching stitching on your creations this month!
As you can see I went the machine stitched route for my simple little card with my current favourite flower image from Wplus9. I appear to have set myself a mini-challenge to see how many different ways I can use this pretty stamp! It really is so versitile. The beautiful sentiment is from Reverse Confetti purchased from Make the Day Special.
I was trying for a feminine and fairly homespun look with this card and am pleased with how pretty the white embossing looks against the kraft cardstock. I coloured with my water brush and Distress Inks.
Yet again the HOC girls have created some beautiful projects so why not head on over, take a look and join in...

Those flowers are fab ... they look amazing in white against your kraft BG :)
Gorgeous! Love the watercoloring and white embossing on the kraft. You really are trying to make me buy this stamp, aren't you? :D
I wish I could figure out how to use my wee sewing machine, so I could make a beautiful stitched card like yours!
Wow, those colors pop off of that kraft colored card stock, and the stitching around it is one of my favorite techniques. Hugs, Barbara HOC teamie
oh, how I love that stamp set (fab coloring btw!) and you've set it off so beautifully with the stitching!

Beautiful card! And you succeeded - a very feminine look! Beautiful stamps and excellent stitching!! jane hoc teamie
Jo this is Oh-So-Cool! I can't sew for a stitch without getting some kind of bobbin catastrophe happening or a needle through my finger... so I'm jealous of those who can! LOVE that deep red on the kraft.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Hugs,
Em, HOC teamie
Totally homespun and lovely!!!
Wow! I love the beautiful color combination in your card! The colors are so deep and rich!
Take care!

That white embossed and colored in image is so vibrant against the kraft background; your "messy" stitching is the perfect finishing touch. Heather HOC teamie
These flowers looks really great on the kraft paper, and the stitched framing is the perfect finish!!
