Doing anything for too long without taking a break can be harmful to your health and that includes "Retail Therapy!" It's time for the start of a new weekly challenge over at Creative Knockouts and this week our theme is "All Stitched Up." Add stitches; they can be real or faux. Our fantastic sponsor is the most beloved Hetty Clare and she supplied images for the DT. I chose "Ladies on a Seesaw" and this card is going to remind me (through an eye-level placement on the craft room door) that taking breaks is a wonderful thing.
This image was such a perfect opportunity to make the entire card into a scene buy choosing papers which worked for both sky and ground. I started by coloring the image with my ProMarkers, then cutting it with a die from Cuts. The die has stitching marks and I enhanced them by using a black gel pen on each stitch.
Once colored, I chose papers from Recollections (green) and Lawn Fawn (blue) stacks which complimented the colors I used on the sky and ground in the image. I added a wrap of aqua ribbon and tied a double-loop bow for the top of the card. I printed and fussy cut the sentiment, and the card was done!
