Quixotic Challenge #2-Stitching!

Hey everyone! Tis Wednesday and that means it's time for another Quixotic Challenge! This week I've picked the challenge and I want to see stitching on your projects. As little or as much as you like, hand or machine! Don't forget the more times you enter within the month the more chance you'll have to win the fab prize of a £20 Quixotic Paperie Voucher.

Elaine sent me one of the gorgeous new Twinkle Tot stamps by The Greeting Farm which you can purchase from Quixotic Paperie here. She was a joy to colour! Tellin ya though-I want her hat! Too cute! For the papers I've used some yummy Basic Grey which I got from the NEC-think they're from the Blush collection. All the stitching has been done on my little janome mini sewing machine. Now the ribbon, would you believe, is actually from an old box of Thorntons chocolates, and I'd obviously kept the ribbon and it's been sat in my ribbon draw since last year!

Stuff: Twinkle Tot stamp by The Greeting Farm available here, copics to colour, Basic Grey papers, sewing machine, dcwv glitter stack, ribbon from stash, Martha Stewart valentine lace punch.

Here's a little close up:~

The layout of my card is from the gorgeous sketch over at Sketch Saturday this week and am also going to enter this over at LaLaLand who want to see us get punchy!

I loved visiting you all to check out your entries last week and I hope you'll join in again! Don't forget you can combine our challenge with as many others as you fancy!

Thanks for popping by today and for any comments you might leave me-I love hearing from you and try to come visit you back as often as I can! xxx
