Hello all! It's Embellish Challenge time again, hooray! Just check out these photos taken by the talented Ashley Newell, what inspiration! This weeks challenge is of course to use the gorgeous colors pictured above, but also to incorporate stitching into your creations. Either by machine or hand, faux or stamped. Our sponsors this time around are Your Next Stamp. You must check them out, they have got some adorable images!I went with hand stitching and this is what I came up with...
My inspiration came from the sentiment "Hoppy Easter". I kept things super simple and let the eggs do the hopping. :)
That crooked sentiment is something I would (usually) never live with. In my creative mind everything has to be perfectly straight, but I thought it kind of added to the movement that the hopping eggs gave to the card. So I left it, and it doesn't even bother me! Lol!
