Rainbow Lady's Challenge #161 A Stitch in Time

This week over at Rainbow lady's Challenge blog the theme is "A Stitch in Time" as always we have a fab sponsor and some great candy up for grabs!!!
My backing paper has been printed out from an Artylicious cd rom, have to admit I can't remember which one lol. I decided use the BP in stripes rather than one whole piece, and overstamped with a HOTP stitcing stamp to make it look like the paper strips had been sewn on. I ran a piece of pink card through the swiss dots embossing folder, and trimmed the edge with a wavey trimmer blade. The ChiChi Memories image has been coloured in using promarkers and some art institute glitter added for sparkle!! The card was then finished off with a few prima flowers with gems added! Hope you join in the challenge this week, just click on the link on my sidebar to take you there. Happy Crafting Elizabeth x

TIO 49 Paper Roses

Oooow sorry I'm Frankie have been having a war with my camera. Have decided I need a new one after seeing how blurred this photo turned out!
I used the new Artylicious Essence of Nature cd rom for the papers. Cut out the tag shape and inked around the edges with brushed corduroy. I cut the flowers out of a co ordinating paper using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die, and also edges them in brushed corduroy. Created the roses in the usual way, loose one petal, then two etc. Sadly you can't see the stamped Clarity sentiment very clearly, I think I should have used a deeper shade of brown. Hey Ho!
Ups forgot to say I had changed the photo for the scanned image as it was slightly clearer, must have been the Lynx effect I was suffering at the time! Kids!!!. xxx
