The challenge to-day was to revisit an old challenge from 2014. I chose TLC464 sewing (since stitching on paper is one of my most favourite things to do). This is also a flip card. I used a stencil from the $tore and stitched with various metallic threads then added some more glitz with jewels. I distressed the edges and stamped with PSX fine crackle. The greeting and the trim down the side are stickers from Peel-offs that have been coloured with an orange sharpie to simulate copper. The image is backed with metallic paper and cut with a die from Nellie Snellen.

SO beautifully done with your precise and elegant stitching, Sue. (You have so much more patience than I) Love the fancy ornament and the small scrolling metallic motifs.

Sue, this is amazing! Truly an elegant work of art! I love the stitching, especially the large one that looks sort of like a sunburst. That die cut frame is awesome. I love the crackle around the edges, blending in so softly and the sticker embellishments are perfect finishing touches!
