My CAS158 Technique..Stitching or Faux Stitching card. This is one of my very favorite techniques. I do not sew, but I LOVE to faux sew :-)
I used watercolor paper for the "Bordering on Romance" image using the Marker Layering Technique....markers and blender pen. Karen B Barber has a fabulous video on the SCS Resources Link showing the technique.
The faux stitching layer was stamped by masking the larger stamp image in set 1 of the "Apothecary Art" SU stamp set. I went around the black line with my mat pack and piercing tool. Worked great! Used a #1 Art pen to connect the pierced holes.
Enjoy and hope you get to play this fun challenge.

I absolutely LOVE this card! The coloring, the popped up layers, the stacked ribbons, the faux stitching, and the pearls are all simply perfect! Into my faves!
Wonderful card, Nancy! I love how you colored those beautiful flowers! I like the double ribbon running between the two layers and great job on the faux stitching! The pearls are the perfect finish!
