MFP Sketch With a Twist Challenge 113 - Faux or Real Stitching!

 
This week's SWAT Challenge is to use the following sketch and the TWIST is to use faux or real stitching on your card.  (I cannot do a single real stitch and my faux stitching looks a lot like what my real stitching would look!)
 
 
For my card, I flipped the sketch.  I used a Spellbinder Piercablilities die on the bottom to create a decorative edge.  I used Kraft Cardstock.  I stamped the image panel using the stamp and sentiment from the MFP Medallion stamp set using Crumb Cake ink.  I then stamped the image im black from Nature's Brushstrokes over the Medallion.  I used a ruler to add dots using a black pen down the side and corners of the stamped panel, then I used the pen to connect the dots with the hope of making it look like stitching (looked much better before I connected the dots!)  The buttons are from my stash.
 
We hope you'll play along with our SWAT Challenge #113 this week.  If you do, you'll be entered to win a stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers!
