Today is the last Saturday challenge over at the Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition. The challenge for today was to include anything with real or faux stitching. I have to say the hardest thing about sewing for real on paper is getting out the machine.
For my art book I grabbed scraps of designer series paper and scrunched them all up, layered them, and then stitched around the edges for a quirky added bit of texture. I cheated and only stitched the papers together then I glued them to the art book. I was totally happy with the tiny bit of red showing where the papers are more heavily distressed.
For my notebook cover I used all Stampin' Up! products
Stamps: Sew Suite & Pattern Pieces
Inks: Jet Black Staz On, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso Classic Inks, Riding Hood Red Stampin' Write Marker, Blender Pen
Papers: Love Letter, Newsprint, Springtime Vintage Designer Series Papers, Confetti & Crumb Cake Cardstocks
Accessories: On Board Art Journal, Beveled Windowpanes, Black Grosgrain Striped Ribbon, Baja Breeze & Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Basic Pearls, Fina Galaxy Stampin' Glitter, & Naturally Serif Sizzlit Decorative Strip
Other: Sewing machine and thread
Be sure to pop over to Create with Connie and Mary and see the other challenge projects.
Happy Craftin'
