I have had zero time to look in the gallery today, but as soon as I spotted this in the approval queue I knew it had to be for Patricia's challenge. I love it - reminds me of The Hobbit. Or maybe more of Terry Pratchett. It's certainly totally perfect - and I love your stitches. They looked like raised puffy paint??

Thank you =) I have a "thing" for dragons. The stitches are embossed with a narrow border folder then i lightly rubbed over the raised area with versa mark then embossed in white, then traced the bottom edge with a light grey staedtler triplus fineliner.

Thanks for coming back and explaining how you created your faux stitching. I think you have the most unique method yet! Thanks for playing along in my HYCCT challenge.

I was looking hard at the stitching too trying to guess how you may have done it. I was all wrong, lol. The grey fineliner really tricks the eye into making it really pop off the card. Great card.
