Charisma Cardz - Stitching

Back again today with another card!  :)  This one is for our new challenge over at Charisma Cardz where this week our theme is 'stitching'.  We would like to see real or faux stitching on entries this week, and are sponsored by Some Odd Girl and The Stamping Boutique .

I used a fab image called Alice Mae as she looks just like my neice who is almost 21 :) 

This card is 8 x 8 inches (its huge!) and I hand-stitched and distressed K&Co papers, layered, punched and die cut bazzil kraft coloured card, and followed the great sketch over at Sketch Saturday.  The flowers are WOC, dies are spellbinder and the PATP is Martha Stewart.

I am entering this card in the below competitions:

Sketch Saturday - Fab Sketch

Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes + sparkle

One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes

Emerald Faeries - Punches/Dies

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Lace it up

I am currently playing catch-up on commenting this week, but thanks ever so much for visiting my blog today,

Charisma Cardz - GDT :)

Today Im sharing my first project for Charisma Cardz as their GDT for May.  I love their challenges, so was really chuffed to be asked, even though it seems like ages ago since I announced it on my blog! lol. :)

Anyway, the theme this week is 'No Cards Allowed'.  Now, I spent a couple of days last week making boxes to store my cards in as they just dont look nice in envelopes when there are lots of embellies, and they are also quite hard to store.  I have been lucky enough to sell my cards in the past at the local hairdressers but it has now been sold, so am stuck with quite a few until I have time to do a craft fair.

I decorated one of my boxes with this cute image called Garden Mae from Some Odd Girl who are sponsoring the challenge this week.  I coloured her with PM's and I used MS punches and some scrap strips of card for the trellis design.  The DP is Kate Knight (freebie) and I used stickles for sparkle.

I am entering this in the below competitions:

Stamp Something - Things with wings
Totally Papercrafts - Glitter
Crafts 4 Eternity - Anything Goes - 2nd entry
Creative Inspirations - Digi Day
Spoonful of Sugar - White + one (blue)
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for looking at my blog today, and I hope you find time to check out the other wonderful and inspirational projects by the rest of the DT.
