DYSU Challenge #28 - Sew: Faux or Real



Welcome to another challenge at Do You Stack Up! This week we have a fun one for you... Stitching! No worries if you're not a seamstress... we would love to see your faux stitching too. We have some great sponsors this week and the rest of the DT has made some beautiful projects so be sure to drop by the main blog to see what they have created!






This week's Sponsors:
4 Digital Images

Robyn's Fetish: The winner’s choice of EITHER 5 digital stamps OR 4 digital stamps and 1 paper pack



For my card this week, I did hand stitching around the edges. My image is Primitive Birdhouse from Robyn's Fetish. I beaded the stick pins myself and the fabric flower is handmade (tutorial here). The center of the flower was made with my i-Top brad maker.
