You brighten my life

Good afternoon, it's time for a new challenge at Crafting for all Seasons and our theme this fortnight is 'STITCHING REAL OR FAUX'.

This week we have three fab sponsors:

and

I spent ages browsing their shops, but there were so many gorgeous images I just couldn't make up my mind which one to choose, so I decided to use one of my own.

This is my card:


I have kept it really simple again, I'm really getting into this style of card at the moment.  I used one of my Joanna Sheens's Wordy Stamps and added my hand stitching to the sun's rays.  For the top half of the background I embossed some lines onto a piece of linen card that I had in my stash and the bottom is some Papermania paper.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

This is the inside of my card that has been decorated to complement the front:



CARD RECIPE:

Image:  Joanna Sheen - Words One
Papers:   Docrafts - Papermania Lemon Sorbet Capsule Collection
Card Stock:  Crafter's Companion - Core'dinations, Create and Craft - Linen

Thank you for joining us in our 'words only' theme over on the CraftyMess challenge blog.

What a really lovely simple looking card that has had a lot of work put into it. I love the stitching with the words on the topper. That mixed with the black and the pale yellow looks gteat!

I hope you will join us in our next theme over on our blog.
Hugs Lisa xxxx
