Red, White and Blue Stitched Card

Time for a little more inspiration for our Unstampabelles Challenge.

This month we are asking for a paper craft creation (No Stamps) using the colours of your country's flag.

No you do not have to include a flag......just use the colours.

After checking our Kerry's blog lately I was inspired to do a little stitching.  So dug through my patterns to find an appropriate one.  I decided on the basket.  I had to add the green leaves and stem but worked them in an finer thread so they would not be as noticeable as my red, white and blue for the Aussie flag.

Yes, a little of another colour is permitted in this challenge as long as the majority of the creation is made up of the colours of your country's flag.

The card is just the scalloped edged circle shape, the blue is background card for the photo.  I cut the corrugated white card stock with my largest scalloped edged Spellbinder die.  Then cut a plain circle of the dark red linen textured cardstock.  In real life this linen texture cardstock is great with the stitching as it takes on a fabric look.  Finished the card with a gold 'Thank You' sticker from the Sticker Store our sponsor this month.  Fantastic prize too.  At this stage if you enter you have very good odds of winning.  :-)

I would like to add this card to:

Make Monday Challenge #85 - Always Anything Goes 

Inspire Me Friday - #54 Always Anything Goes

Have a terrific day.

(Just a bit of trivia......this is my 1000th post, Wow that is a lot of writing, photos and creations)
