This is the first time I've entered this challenge, and I like the way my card turned out. Decided after the last near-disaster with the sewing machine that I'd stick to hand-stitching the border, and it came out nicely, even though I finished at 1am last night!!!
Gosh, 3 cards in just over 3 days - there's nothing like summer holidays to kickstart the old mojo!!!
Thanks for looking!

Lovely card Julie, I do love the papers you've used and the image is really sweet. Your bow looks fab and I love how you've done your flowers with the white streaks in them, they really stand out so well, and boy do you have some patience, sewing by hand around your card. You've done a really gorgeous job on this card.

Great colour palette! and stitching is super!
Wow Julie, this is fabulous!! Love, love, love it!! Can't believe you hand stitched it though, lol!
Hiya Julie,
Wow this is stunning I love the image and that must have taken some time to hand stitch that border but it looks so perfect. I am so glad you found us and I hope to see more of your cards.
