Stitched Christmas card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "It's a Stitch Up".


The time for making Christmas cards has arrived, I've made this a fairly simple card. I used the Dashing Deer die as my focal point of the card. The Distress Oxides work perfect for coloring the deer, I've used Vintage Photo and Antique Linen.




 

I chose faux stitching by using the Stitched Rectangles die as a frame. In the background I stamped the diamond stamp with the set of the STAMPtember 2017 from Tim Holtz. With a MISTI or another stamping tool it really works very well to stamp a full pattern. But I always do a trail run to measure the pattern out.

Wow! The background turned out amzing! What a precision in stamping, I still don't know how you figured out where to stamp and how much to pass the card!!! And don't know either wht you pass a Powder Tool through the edges. So many misteries! It's such a quick and lovely card! And Mr. Deer is my lovely one! Hugs, Marzena
