Wacky Wednesday #11

 WACKYWEDNESDAYLADIES

It’s Sherry’s turn to host the  challenge over at the Rubbernecker Stamp Company blog today. 

The Challenge is to use stitching on your project.  This could be by machine, hand, faux…. Come join the fun and play along.  The stamps used today will be released by Rubbernecker on Thursday May 14.  You will want to check the Rubbernecker Blog and join the blog stroll tomorrow for a chance to win free stamps and see all the fabulous creations the DT has come up with.

The flourishes and butterflies on my base layer were heat embossed using Distress powder, then misted with distress reinkers mixed with water.  The butterflies are highlighted with a Sakura gel pen.  The metal corner brads were white, so I used alcohol inks to make them match the card and then stamped the flourish on them with Stazon Black ink.  The believe strip is all one sticker that I stitched to add dimension.  Check out all the awesome stamps being released by Rubbernecker tomorrow.  The design team has lots of sneak peeks for you today!
