Happy Monday! Time for another CAS challenge. This week we're asking you to use stitching--real or faux--on your card.After seeing Dawn's post about playing with patterns, I decided I could use pattern to create a quilted look--perfect for stitching, right? I pieced together some scraps and added some faux stitching. In keeping with the sewing/quilting theme, I decided to use a crocheted flower from Paper Blooms. I chose a sentiment with a cursive font, since old school quilters/sewers/crocheters always did handwritten letters with lovely penmanship.
Stamps: Everyday Occasions (Hero Arts)
Paper: PTI white, SU dp
Ink: Certainly Celery
Accessories: scalloped edge punch, white gel pen, paper piercer, flower (Paper Blooms), button (PTI), pearl (Kaisercraft)

It's fabulous! That faux stitching is incredibly straight! Love the colors on this one. It really does remind me of a quilt.
Very cute! Love the pastel colors! I need to get my pretty flowers that you gave me out and play with them. I don't normally reach for my flowers... I think I hoard them but i did look through them the other day and had forgotten about the great flowers you sent me. I definitely need to show them some love!
