I decided to try stitching through the pierced holes in the die and see if it worked. To my surprise it looks great so I think I might be trying it again with other pierced dies. I actually started off by stamping Happy Birthday at the top right side and idiot that I am I forgot it takes longer for ink to dry on pearlescent card! Yes, you've guessed it! As I stuck the flowers on my hand brushed over it and smudged it. What a mess! I then had a little panic attack wondering how I could disguise the mess. After trying different dies against it for size I finally found this one which fitted perfectly. I found a scrap of pink pearlescent cardstock which was a pretty good match so I then had to computer generate the sentiment because the stamp was too big for the die cut. Anyway, all's well that ends well, as the Bard would have said!
Why not pop across to the blog and check out what my teamies have come up with and perhaps join is with us?
Well that's it from me for today so take care and enjoy the rest of the long weekend.
