CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 119 - hosted by Jocelyn

 


This has been made for the young lad Marcus who lives next door to me. According to his Dad - who I questioned most carefully - Marcus is Space and Astronaut mad.   I think he is 6 - not too sure.  Stupidly I forgot to ask.

This is the insert:

 I used the MCS programme to make the square image with the blurred edge on which to write the greeting.

The  stitch pattern is a download from Stitchcards.com. The die cut cards and mats are from a set purchased from The Art of Craft and are designed to look like postage stamps etc. They are by John Next Door. The sentiment was made using a die cut and my ACDSee graphics programme.

The background was gathered from the internet.   I enjoyed making this. It is an 8" x 8" so  I can deliver it personally.

p.s.  I have discovered two things since I posted this.  No: 1 -  read things properly the first time.  No: 2 what I thought was an Astronaut is actually called a Robot by Stitchcards.  I think he looks like an Astronaut and I am not going to tell Marcus - if you don't.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #118 - hosted by Margaret

I have a stitched Christmas card to show for this challenge. It is one of my own favourites of those that I have made this year.

I downloaded the purchased stitch pattern - by Linzoos - from the internet and after finishing the stitching I completed the card with a 3D decoupage central image.

Here it is:


I love the stitch pattern which enhances but doesn't detract from the image used. I was pleased with the colouring and the glitter background mat that toned with the threads that I used. 

I hope all are well and doing well with your own Christmas card making.
