Say it With…Stitching
Welcome to another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.
(Tag aco72)
Well this week I decided to challenge myself. I see loads of great cards with machine stitching on them, which I love. To be honest, I have never tried machine stitching on a card before as I have been too lazy to drag out the old sewing machine! I don’t have a craft room, so my space is limited, but this challenge made me dust off the cobwebs on my machine…and for my first attempt, I still managed to sew in a straight line (considering I haven’t used the thing in about 6 years!) My sister will be proud of me as she is a seamstress!
Obviously I am a little obsessed with creating my own dry embossed background on my score board (it is a phase that will no doubt end soon)…as this is about my 3rd card doing it! I have used BBD#7 for the gingham on the love hearts and the sentiment is from the Love Birds set.
I am entering this into the Gingham Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Your stitching looks perfect Marion and keep going with the embossed backgrounds – they are fabulous
Marion this is great! I love how you have stitched down the centre of those hearts and the white on white is so elegant 🙂
Wow! what a awesome card? I love the lineup of hearts and the stitiching. Love the blue and white colour combination and the texture using scoring is just perfect. Love your card, Marion 🙂
Great stitching sis! You should do more of it.
Fab card. Love the stitched hearts.
BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND!!
I’m loving your scored backgrounds! This card is absolutely beautiful! Totally love your great straight line you’ve sown!
I should say so – your sewing is great and I love the crisp blue gingham hearts 🙂
The paper actually looks like fabric! I haven’t bothered to pull out my old sewing machine yet. I’ve been stitching by hand but the machine gives a much finer look. LOVE this card Marion!
I love to see stitching on cards and love how you’ve used it here Marion :0)
The embossed bkgd is better than any embossing folder could do….so neat :0)
