Lawnscaping Challenge #54- Stitching

Hello all!  I am back to share with you my submission for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge.  It is all about stitching whether is faux, by hand or by a sewing machine.  Personally, I am not sewer, but I have done a little in the past.  I don't do it on my cards hardly ever - but its a fun change to add something new to my card designs.



For my card, I used Lawn Fawn's set - "Happy Easter".  What a cute set this is! AND - you can use it so much more than for Easter cards.  I started out my stamping in Versa  mark ink my "hopping lines".  I needed a guide to paper pierce my holes for my hand stitching.  Then, I went to town with my hand stitching.  It was fun to have this fun element on my card.  Then, I stamped and paper pieced using various pattern papers for my bunny, one of my clouds and my sun and one of the Easter eggs for some fun patterns on my card.  I had die cut some clouds previous that I didn't use and decided to add them to this card.  I changed the "Happy Easter" sentiment slightly by using Sally's ABC's and inserting one of the Easter eggs for a fun element to the sentiment.  I like mixing up different fonts in the sentiments too.
I added some yellow Stickles to the sun, and Star Dust Stickles to the egg - and for the bunny's tail - I added some white Liquid Applique for a "puffy" tail.



Thanks for stopping in!!
