Thanks Sew Much

A second card for the Less is More challenge this week, where the theme is 'Homespun'.  This time I decided to add real stitching.
I've had some Bazzill stitching templates for a long time, but can't remember the last time I used one of them.  I chose a flourish pattern, which I sewed with embroidery thread.  The border was punched with a Martha Stewart punch, which I thought looked like broderie anglaise, keeping the Homespun theme.  The sentiment was from a set of stamps that came as a free gift with a magazine.  I stamped it using a Versafine 'Onyx' inkpad, then added some faux stitching with a fine purple pen. The stitched panel and sentiment are both raised up on foam tape.

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

    This is beautiful, and such a splendidly imaginative take on the homespun challenge. Very lovely embroidery stitching in a very pretty motif too...also like the color combo so much. I've never seen this MS punch used to more marvelous effect either. Well DONE! Best wishes for 2016...looking forward to seeing more of your inspiring cards. TFS & Hugs

    The border punching and stitching work really well together, Liz. Love the deep purple/blue against the white too.
    Thanks for sharing with us.
