Week 853 - Stitching: real or faux

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Thank you for the gorgeous entries for our ‘ribbons and/or bows’ challenge. It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the prize courtesy of Uniko and also who Marlene has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Kitty from Team 2, and she has given us the theme of ‘stitching: real or faux’. Kitty has given you a super easy theme and would like to see some stitching on your creations this week.  There are so many stitched dies around now that it's easy to go the faux way but of course if you like to machine or hand-stitch on your cards that's great too.  Of course it could be patterned paper with stitching or ribbon that has stitched lines on it.  Such a fun theme and we can’t wait to see what you make. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card. The only rule we have is to use your markers, hand colour an image and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
