It's Thursday again and this week it's my turn to set the challenge at MAWTT. One of the things I have loved doing over the past few months is using my sewing machine again, so I thought I would set the theme of STITCHING and that can be real or faux. You don't have to have a machine, some hand stitching would be great and I have even got some rub-ons that give a stitched effect. If you don't have any of those then a pen will be fine. Just have fun with it.
Our sponsor this week is Digi Stamp Boutique and they have given all the DT some stamps to play with this week so go check out the main blog to see the lovely creations.
I did give a hint on Monday to suggest what would be coming today so maybe you've already been able to think about this one.
My inspiration also came from the Sketch at Crafty Ann's as this layout gave me a real opportunity to use the sewing machine again. The lovely image from Digi Stamp Boutique is called 'Coco and roses'.I have used promarkers to colour in the teddy and roses and I have distress inked the edge. The papers are a mix of a freebie from a magazine and a freebie download. I added stickles to the roses and bow to give a bit of sparkle and to the paper roses.
I hope you will come and join in the challenge with us.
I am posting again later to show you the fabulous tags I made with Hels at the workshop I went to yesterday. Come back and take a look at 15 different techniques we tried out.

This is beautiful Brenda! I love how you've been able to make the sketch work so well with the stitching - I must confess that I don't really add stitching to cards, but having seen yours, I might just have to use my own sketch to give your challenge at MAWTT a go! Thank you for the inspiration and for joining in with us at Crafty Ann's
