All Stitched Up . . .

 

Happy Saturday Everyone!

 The other day I received my order from Altenew and I just couldn't wait to have time to play with one of the stamp/die sets.  This one is the Engagement Wishes stamp & die bundle.  I don't know of anyone getting engaged or married right now but I thought it would be fun to make a card just to say HELLO.  And, you all know how much I love shades of Purple so here ya go!  LOL

 The main challenge I'm playing along with today is over at Creative Knockouts and their theme (as my title suggests) is All Stitched Up.  I had some left over stitched frame pieces from other projects so decided they would work along with this flower beautifully.  Here's a closer look at the stitching on these dies.

The dies used are:

Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Frames


 Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Circle Frames

 

 Frantic Stamper Hello

Frantic Stamper Precision Die - Brush Script Hello

 

I have used my new Derwent Inktense Pencils for the coloring ...

 Inktense Pencil Set - Set of 24

 and added a few different colors of Nuvo crystal drops here & there as an accent.
