Today we introduce the last two stamp sets of this release:
 |
Happy Days (£5) |
 |
| Background Blocks Pinstripe II(£5) |
Yes, you've read correct: Pinstripe II
Both background blocks have almost the same size, the same stripes, so what's the difference?
The direction of the stripes (on the rectangular block)!
When Beverley showed us the first sneak peeks of this new background stamp I had the idea in my mind to combine these two pinstripe stamps immediately!
But there are many more ideas - now I can combine either vertical or horizontal cards with both, vertical or horizontal stripes to create great backgrounds! :-)
I stamped both blocks in a light grey. Was so easy to adjust them perfectly orthogonal on the cardbase.
Then I measured out to find the middle row (was too lazy to count them twice) and started my "cross-stitching" with a fine red marker.
I added row after row and some extra stitches until my heart had a perfect size and shape.
Was happy I needn't to suture the ends of the "thread" cause I used it to write my little message and finished the card by adding a "needle" with a silver Gellyroll pencil.
I know, the stitching doesn't look "perfect", but it wouldn't be better when I would have used real thread! So it looks very realistic for me! ;-)
(I crafted and did fancywork my whole life in many different ways, but I never did cross-stitching!)
Hope you like this "faux fabric" technique!
When you try it yourself, please send me a link to your project in the comments - I'm nosy, which pattern you sew and stitch!
