Faux Stitchwork with Dilly Beans

Happy Aloha Friday!

Today the Kitty Bee Design Team

is playing with 

for our ongoing challenge

Sew Cute

to use real or faux stitching.

Here's my take...

The digi I used is Doodle Flower

and I had every intention to actually handstitch some accents...

of course it was not turning out the way I wanted.

I went with the faux stitching instead from my dies and added a few

hand drawn stitches on the leaves and outer flower petals.

This drawn flower is just so whimsical and fun that I ended up printing

a bunch on different colored cardstock and doing some paperpiecing.

I loved the boldness of the flower and went simple with just a tone

on tone background (Hero Arts Highline Chalkboard) and some 

gold foil paper with a vellum backing to 

make the sentiment (Simon Says Stamp Thanks Craft die) stand out.

Hope you all have some great weekend plans.

This gal is on call, but I hope to squeeze some crafty time in!

Aloha Friday Challenge with Kitty Bee Design

Happy Aloha Friday!

Today I'm playing with the

Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenge

with the theme

EASTER

sponsored by the sweet images from 

I have a lot of great childhood memories 

of Easter with the family and hope to carry on the

tradition with my kids.  We still do Easter egg hunts

in the same backyard that I did when I was my kids' age!

For today's card I got to play with

Amalia's Daisy Crown

In the true spirit of Easter I went with a lot of color!

I printed Amalia out (2x) and die cut her a little off center using the

Avery Elle Finished Frames die.

I then stamped the sweet 

Kitty Bee Design Reach for the Stars Bun.

I masked both images and used distress inks 

to create to colorful background.

I removed the masks and used copic markers to

color the images and create a bit of shadowing on the ground.

I finished off the top corner with a banner die from Lawn Fawn

and stamped out the sentiment on top, then glued to the panel.

So that's it for me!  

I hope you'll join us for the challenge.
