ID: DT Mayr/13 - Faux Stitching - Be Not Forgetful card
size: 5"w x 7"h

One of the Quietfire Creations DT does a technique at the beginning of the month and this time it was Holly again doing a "faux stitching/quilting" technique. I use faux stitching a lot... too lazy to go upstairs to my sewing machine. BIG GRIN. Love the look of this background.

I'm using the newest quote from the Home/Congratulations set Quietfire Design

So I raided my scrap drawer of decorated papers in green tones and punched a whole bunch of 3/4" squares using an EK Success slim punch. I then adhered them to the cream toned cardstock, avoiding the middle area since it would be covered with the quote. When everything was adhered, I then did faux stitching using a Micron pen. Trimmed my background down and adhered to my cream toned card front, then did faux stitching all around.

Stamped my quote on another lighter toned cream cardstock using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut with Spellbinders "Floral Ovals" using a piece of Tyvek between my die and cardstock. The die cut just pops out beautifully... PS you can use the Tyvek over again in the die or color it and use it on a card.

Sponged Distress "Shabby Shutters" and a touch of "Mustard Seed" around the edges and adhered to card with 3D foam squares.

Tied a peg bow from 1.5"w green gauze ribbon and adhered to card with Golden's Extra Heavy gel medium.

Dug into my stash and pulled out a matching green butterfly (Cottage Cutz "Filigree Trio"). Added some white half pearls to the body.
