Art Challenge: Stitching
Journal Prompt: "All that I'm after is life full of laughter."
I cut up some scraps of gelli'ed deli paper and sewed them together on my sewing machine. Next I cut out three hearts. I painted a blue background with Distress paints and some blue Inka Gold rub. I painted a black frame with black gesso...(thanks Michael for the idea)... and then doodled with silver, purple and blue metallic sharpies. I wrote the sentiment ... created a shadow around the hearts and doodled some too.
Here is a close-up of the one of the stitched hearts.
I like to take the challenge one bit further and apply it to my card art. So I sewed some of the gelli print onto card stock, stamped a bike and sentiment. Crystal laquer was added to the flowers. Done.

I really like how differently the black gesso'd frame can be interpreted. Loved that you stitched together the deli papers. I still haven't tried stitching paper. And the card is fabulous as always.
