Sew Many Challenges ~ Sew Stitchy

Good Morning! We're back!! That's right today is the day!! Sew Many Challenges is back after a bit of a break with a new challenge. This week we are being sponsored by Tiffany Doodles. The winner of this week's challenge will win 5 digis from Tiffany Doodles!!! The challenge is to add stitching (real or faux) to your project.
I used Tayla In Pumpkin for the image on my card. You can pick this image up at Sew Many Cards for $3.00. Have you heard about the new SMC VIP Club?? You can purchase a month, 6 month or year subscription. As a SMC VIP you will receive (each month) 5 or more digital stamps, several sentiments, a project with instructions, templates, special projects, sketch and much, much more. What a great deal!! For more information and prices please go here.

The stitching that I did on my card is faux stitching using a black Zig Memory pen.

Tiffany Doodles has been very sweet to give each of the SMC DT an image to work with. The image that I was given to use is called Blue Bird. I just love this bird digi. It's so lifelike and was so much fun to work with.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards. Please be sure to check out each of the SMC DT projects you won't be disapointed. Then once you've created a project using this week's theme be sure to enter it on the SMC challenge blog.
