One Stitch at a Time Challenge 197

This week and One Stitch at a Time, we're challenging you to limit your colours: we want white plus one!

Our sponsor this time is

I got to choose from the huge range of images from Hope Jacare this week, and with the theme, I decided to get ahead and do an anniversary card for my husband.


Isn't that a fun image? It's called Love Overflowing, and it's available from the Stitchy Bear outlet - there's a link in my sidebar. I backed the image with a mosaic of die cut squares. Interestingly, since I was using four different cards from four different sources, the squares are slightly different in size. I don't know if it's because some cards emboss a little more deeply or if it's due to some squashing factor for the card, but it was quite noticeable as I put the grid together. I did wonder if it was that my squares weren't quite square, but doing a 90 degree turn didn't help, so it's not that.

I finished with some more die cuts - hearts this time. All dies are Spellbinders, and I coloured the image with Promarkers in various reds.

I hope you can join us this week.

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

Victorine Originals where the theme is valentines/love,
Cards for Guys where they want monochrome (card is for my husband),

Oh Josephine...I just love this card...it's stunning. That image is just darling too. It certainly pops. I love the piecing you did of those squares...it must have taken some time to create it. WOW.

Fabulous Josephine, so much attention to detail, especially your creativity with the background have made this a very special creation. As Lynn said, it must have taken you ages but it is well worth the effort - great outcome. It amazes me when folks put so much detail into a card and yet still manage to keep the digi as the main focus but you certainly succeeded here, well done hun :) :) :) :) big hugs Jane xxxx
