I love ....

.... Earth Love (by Cosmo Cricket, that is!). I won a prize from Cosmo Cricket of their new Earth Love line and this is the first time I've used it. Gorgeous paper to work with.

This week's PaperPlay Challenge was set by Elisa and it's called "Letter Leftovers": "Isn't annoying that if you buy alphabet stickers - or rubbons or chipboard - at some stage you will be left with lots of letters which can't make any word anymore? My challenge this week is to use letters from at least three different sets. If you don't have any of the above, use stamps or fonts."

I'm afraid I was naughty and didn't read the challenge properly, I only used letters from two sets. Oops!
.
I stamped the stamp with Hero Arts shadow ink, highlighted with coloured pencils and then used crackle glaze to age it. Used a button to get the holes for the cross-stitching perfect - worked a treat, must remember that!!


Thanks for looking.

At first glance, I thought you were using a sewing machine..then I read that you used a button !!! wow !!!
You can get a template with holes to guide you...it will be faster than a button ! :o) I got one from Stampin Up.You are known to be a very resourceful crafter ! LOL ! x
