One Stitch at a Time Challenge 202

This week at One Stitch at a Time, our challenge is another 'anything goes'! So, whatever you want to share with us is fine, but remember, you can only enter a maximum of three times if you don't use a product from the Stitchy Bear Outlet.

The sponsor this week is


This week, I got to choose an image for Hazel, Shell and myself from Stitchy Bear herself. So, I had a look through the dozens of fabulous images, but finally decided on a silhouette. Stitchy does some gorgeous silhouettes, and I love everyone of them. The one I chose this time is called 'poppies'.

In photoshop Elements, I added a gradient over the image, changing it from black to something a little more colourful, and I added a red border.

After printing, I matted with red card, and I liked the result so much I decided to go fairly CAS for the rest of the card. I embossed some white card and picked up the vertices in the pattern with red glitter glue before matting onto more red, and that's it! I'm really pleased with the result - especially since I managed to resist the temptation to add more embellishment!

I hope you can join us this week.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Especially like the gradient look of this. Not done that before & I'll have to give it a try. Like the embossing & glitter used.

Absolutely stunning Josephine, your embossed background couldn't be more perfect, white texture with just the hint of red sets off the digi perfectly - great make :) :) :) Hugs Jane xxxxx

Oh Josephine, this is just so beautiful. I love the way you changed the colour of the digi image and the embossed background is simply stunning with the red glitter glue dots too. Such a wonderful card.
