Hi, Well as promised earlier here i am with my second post of the day!
Here are the details of the latest challenge that up and running over at Elphine House Australia.
The theme this time is...
Distressed in Stitches!
Add some distressing and stitching..faux or real!
Here is my card... I am not huge on heavy distressing but i do like to lightly file/ink edges so thats what i have done here and used DP's that have the distressed look. I decided to colour my image in Sepia tones using my Promarkers. I have had to do faux stitching as my sewing machine is not working. The bobbin keeps getting jammed. Tried everything to sort it but totally stuck!
Okay onto my card...
The image i have used is one of my favourite at the moment.
She is called "Emmas Gift of Love"
To join in the challenge you have to use a Elisabeth Bell stamp from any company. There are lots of Elisabeth Bell images out there so let us see your creations!
Here is what products i used..

Dies/punches - Spellbinders Oval and Beaded Oval, Label 1 for insert, Marianne flourish dies and the brackets from Cricut Potpourri Cartridge and x cut border die.
