Wednesday Trends - Hand Stitching

Hi Everyone!  It's me Christine and I have a fun little card to show you that showcases the use of twine and hand stitching on your creations, really simple and sweet.  

I started with my stamped image from the adorable set Under the Weather, and then added some pierced holes that were the size I wanted my stitches to be.


As you can see I had to have a larger needle with a big enough eye to hold the twine.  To stitch knot one end of the twine and then thread in and out through the holes. 


And here's the final creation.  The twine stitching adds a sweet home-spun detail, and I tied it into the buttons as well.

Thanks for joining me today, and I hope you can experiment with some twin and stitching too!
