I admit when I first saw this image from QKR Stampede (Digi 12806 'Little Boy'), I knew I was going to use it for a Mother's Day card. Every year, I make cards for my daughter, my wonderful DIL, and my Granddaughter-in-law. I also make cards for their kids to give to them. The fun part is that each of them have boys so I get to use some fun, boyish images. :-D
A new QKR Stampede challenge starts today and this time our theme is "Stitching - Real or Faux."
This time I colored the image with chalks but most of the shading is done with Copics. It's difficult to get enough chalk in the right places to make good shadows. I hand cut the image, leaving a good margin around it for the faux stitching. It's adhered with Pop Dots for a bit of dimension.
Both of the papers came from a stack by The Paper Studio and I did stitching around the edges of the argyle design and the white CS mat behind it. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the twine came from my stash. The tiny flower was punched and I added a small gem to the middle of it. The stitching, the flower, and the bow are my only 3 embellishments.

I hope we're going to see you playing along this week at QKR. You can use any digital or rubber stamp but if you choose to use an image from QKR Stampede, you'll qualify for a separate drawing to win images. That really does increase your chances of winning so think about it, won't you?
Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

I was inspired by the colors at Cosmic Colors.
I used a sketch I found at Sketchtanten but I'm not entering that challenge since they don't allow the use of digital images. I reversed the sketch because it fit better with the direction my image was facing.
