OSAAT Challenge #118: Stitch It!

This week at One Stitch at a Time, we want to encourage you to use one of your digi stamps from a StitchyBear Store designer, so the theme is "Use a Stitchy Bear Store Digi and/or Stitching (real or faux)"!

I used In the Pumpkin Patch by Delicious Doodles:


This was quite a challenge for me, coloring-wise. Plus, I only have 2 oranges and the lighter one was one its last legs...Guess it's time to order those refills!I hand-stitched the border on the image, but the orange/white border on the card was done on my machine.

I found this fun, hand-made-type paper at Michaels, and although it's highly textured it heat-embossed quite well (with the help of my Embossing Buddy!). I heat-embossed the netting stamp (Rogue Redhead Designs) in black and the sentiment (Fiskars) in shiny green.

I wanted to make a special embellishment, so I used the Woven Patch tutorial by Karen Barbé that I saw recently on Pinterest. Try it, do!

Hope you'll join us at One Stitch at a Time for our "Use a Stitchy Bear Store Digi and/or Stitching" challenge. For entries using a StitchyBear Store product (be sure to add a # after your name when entering), your could win this month's StitchyBear Designer Collaboration set.
