Secret Crafter - Stitching

This is a new challenge for me.

I have made a 4x4 Fat Book Page. This is for my friend Caz, she has come up with the idea of using FBPs as a border in her kitchen.

I used 3cm squares and made a patchwork and then drew the stitching on and finally added the image.

Inspiration courtesy of Craft Stamper

Whilst looking through March Craft Stamper mag I came across a piece made by Louise Kolker (Art Journey)using this months free stamp.

I took some TSS aluminium and covered it with Alcohol inks in yellows browns and greem and then used my cuttlebug embossing folder. Then it was slightly sanded and covered on the back of a small square canvas. I stamped the image onto card and used the excess of alcohol inks to colour it and then added some perfect pearls.

So thankyou Louise and Craft Stamper for the inspiration.
