Technostamper Sketch Challenge #9 - a tad bit late...



Um...my sketch challenge for the Technostamper Sketch Challenge #9 is a tad bit late. Normally I post my rendition on Mondays -- but this week, it just didn't happen! One of those week, KWIM?

This one was hard for me, at least until I actually started making the card -- then it was simple! This card has NO techniques on it (can you believe that?). I was actually concentrating on getting the stitch stamp straight. Have you ever seen Beate Johns' work? Her stitch stamping is always straight -- I don't know how she does it!


Sorry I am late, MJ : )


All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Pat! That is great, but what? No technique, what is up with that. I actually had to click on the picture a few times to see the stitching and still think it looks real, don't look like all in a row is that what is is? Great job. And by the way when you look up close not many really have straight stamped stitching -- your is though! Impressive. Thanks for hopping on late. Great job.

I love your card. I'd love see more cards made with just 'play on paper'. How'd you get the perfect diamond? I am looking for the perfect (altho more elongated diamond shape).

Here is another idea for you, based on your layout...
I saw one using this basic layout, only all the diamonds and 1/2 diamonds down the middle were using one colour cuttlebugged, then the spaces were also filled in with other diamonds and half diamonds with a complimentary colour that went well, also cuttlebugged and all pieced together. It was eye catching, diamonds were more elongated. I'm dying to try to case it, but don't have a proper elongated diamond.

What?? No technique?! huh?! LOL!
This is a beautiful springy card! Great job on your faux stitching. I can't get faux or real stitching straight. :P
