A little hand stitching - DCM

It's been a snowy day here so the midweek daring cardmakers challenge came just in time. The theme is "A little hand stitching" and is essentially a tutorial on putting hand stitching on cards. Here's a card that I made to go with this theme.


This is actually my first attempt at doing real hand stitching on a cardfront. Usually I do faux stitches with a piercer and gel pens, so this was a new experience for me. It was fun, too! And I don't usually like to sew. LOL! The stamped images are all by Hero Arts. I colored the birds with Copic Spica glitter pens. The embossing was all done with Cuttlebug embossing folders.
