The first challenge this month at ODBD Shining the Light Sketch Challenge is to have stitching (real or faux) on your cards. I must admit I immediately thought "FAUX!" because I have a hard time sewing in a straight line... and if I'm using lovely designer paper, do I really want to mess it up?! But since this is a challenge, I dusted off my machine. I went for a zig zag around the edges - it seemed safer that way! The Doily die is so pretty and intricate I didn't want to cover it up so I left the design pretty simple. Hope you take up the challenge too! And make sure you check out my fellow DT sisters- there are some serious seamstresses in that group!
Recipe:
Stamps: ODBD Doily Blessings
