This week's K. Werner Color Challenge was just that...a challenge! I'm not a black/white kinda girl, so I had to keep it simple and DIG for gray. I did find some grosgrain ribbon and felt so I used both!
I don't know if you've noticed, but my recent cards have not used stitching and that's because I've broken another sewing machine! Somehow, I keep jamming the bobbin components. I'm going to take it to a repair shop soon before investing in another one. So, my friend Tessa always uses faux stitching that looks so real and I'd thought to try it now. I paper pierced holes using the Scor-Bug, then used a white Signo pen to create the 'stitch.' Easy Peasy!! But, does it look like stitching? Be honest!
