PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY PINK CHRISTMAS MINI BLOG HOP CARD
This week over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we have something fun for you to try out - Patchwork!!! One of my other crafting loves is patchwork and quilting - I have soo many fabrics stashed in my craft room that I need to find time to use - this papercrafting gig seems to take up all my time these days - LOL.
I cut 1" squares from 3 different pages from my Basic Grey Jovial paper pad and stuck them to some scrap paper before using a gold thread to stitch the 'seams' in a zig zag. The gold thread adds such a fabulous rich sheen to the whole thing - perfect for some Christmas glitz. Now I'm REALLY annoyed with myself - these pages have tiny words written on them and I made sure they were all facing the same way - and then after I went and stitched the image background and stuck Tilda down I realised I had it sideways : (
I 'sugared' up the candy cane with some glitter - and did the same with the cuttlebug letters on my WoJ die cut banner. It was really hard NOT to cover up too much of my background with flowers after all my work though - LOL.
Don't forget to pop over to the MDUC blog for some amazing inspiration from the rest of DT gals!

The background paper you've made Debbie looks marvellous. So very neat and tidy, all corners matching. lol Love that glitter.
Wow wow wow, you really did treat the background like a real quilt. All those stitching--really looks fabulous. Love the blend of colours. Card is truly gorgeous.
Same with me re other crafts and hobbies. They've all been put on the back burner. No time for anything but papercrafting for now..but isn't it fun!!! LOL
