PRICK AND STITCH FOR THE OUTLAWZ SKETCH CHALLENGE

The Sketch to follow at The Outlawz this week is :


but I flipped it a quarter turn and made this card:


The prick and stitch detail was created using a template, and regular mercerised thread and I added some beads and sequins to add a little detail:


A happy birthday stick on sentiment and a gem and pearl adorned butterfly diecut from Memory Box were added.

I also used the following:
white CS card base
gold and white background from BLUEBERRY BEAR
metallic gold card mats
stick on pearls
fancy pearls from BLUEBERRY BEAR

ANYTHING GOES, #88, SEEING DOUBLE (I have two fancy pearls top right and bottom left, as well as two teardrop shaped gems on the butterfly)
