Hello everyone,
Another week whooshed by, and time for another new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and our lovely Jan is hostess and she had chosen the theme..STITCHING SENSATIONS....
Now don't be scared, I wasn't, I had every intention and was looking forward to stitching something, I really was...BUT....

She didn't want to play, she is a very old Elna Contessa, I had it when my kids were little and it belonged to another before that and she's just plum tuckered out.

So I had my die cuts cut and coloured and waiting in a box..

Sorted out my papers..

Then had to faux stitch, but really enjoyed doing that again..used to quite a bit.

A simple gold embossed sentiment...

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'm so sorry to hear about Contessa=(. But, I do love your doodle stitches, they look wonderful along with all those gorgeous flowers. I love these colors and the sweet little hummer.
I LOVE this Chrissy, its so pretty and the beautiful colours. Your stitchng looks great, shame about the 'old girl' machine, maybe someone cans strip it down for you, bet you it would come back good as new.xx
Bummer your machine gave up on you, but your faux stitching looks great and oh my the card turned out beautiful, I love these colors together, the flowers and the bird are beautiful!
I used to do a lot of real stitching, machine stitching, but stopped for a simpler look and more light weight. Think I’m going to try again. Your faux stitching looks great though and I like the effect of the green panels too. Flowers and hummingbird are gorgeous.
You did a great job Chrissy. My machine is a pretty good one but it's out in the garden house so doesn't get used! Just haven't got the room in here for it. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it lol.
Your faux stitching looks sensational Chrissy xx
Your faux stitching is a perfect compliment to those gorgeous flowers! :)
So pretty! It's too bad your sewing machine let you down....the faux stitching looks fabulous though! Loving the gold embossed sentiment too.
Poor Elna! I actually just got rid of my machine about a month ago. It was used when the kids were little and had been my mum's before that. It was just done!
Your card looks wonderful and your faux stitching is just perfect. Such lovely die cuts too!
