And, for my project....This design team has been so good for me. It has challenged me to do things I wouldn't have done if I wasn't on the team. It is truly a challenge blog for me, too. I had never used the faux stitching technique on my Silhouette, so YouTube rescued me -- again! Here's what I created:
I used my Cameo to create the shaped card. Then, I made a smaller, similar shaped print and cut panel and faux stitched around it with a double line of stitching. The large front bicycle tire and basket is part of the print and cut paper. I then used a Close To My Heart stamp set for the smaller bicycle and sentiment. I painted the bicycle with Creative Inspirations paints to give them some shimmer. A lipstick pink bow of 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon and some black bling from my stash completes the outside of the card.
Inside, I added another print and cut shape, more faux stitching, and the rest of the stamped sentiment:
There it is, my first ever faux stitching project. I know without a doubt it is not my last. I'm loving this technique. It adds so much to a card or layout. Try it for yourself, then link up with us at Silhouette Challenges. You have until July 31st.
Beautiful. Love the sentiment.
