Stitching

 When I saw this challenge from the Penny Black Saturday challenge blog I thought it would be a great addition for the card I wanted to make for a friend of mine. I used a Paper piercing template for the design, I used the small scallop and the straight edges to make up a frame for these flowers. I stitched it using 2 strands of floss. 

• Penny Black - Rose Bowl stamp, colored w/Spectrum noir Sparkle pens
• Stampin up - Paper Piercing Pack Essentials w/ 2 strands of floss for the stitching
• Gina K - Sentiment stamp
• Memory Box - Paper

I tried to get a close up picture of the sparkle the pens left behind but it still doesn't show up well. I hope the sparkle at least last until my friend receives this in the mail.

A friend that is a substitute teacher gave me that stampin up piercing set when a fellow coworker was retiring from teaching and she was getting rid of all the stuff that was in her classroom, I hope to be using more of them in the future for stitching on cards. I had never heard of them so I googled it and the few you tubes I have watched of them they just used them for piercing with no stitching, but I like the idea of using them as templates to stitch.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, and hope you have a great week ahead,
