Here's another challenge for you :)
This one is Faux Stitching!
Here's some ideas:
- Hand draw stitches - x's, dashes, zig zags, anything you can think of
- Stitching stamp images
- Piercing templates with markers or gel pens
For this card I used a piercing template and a white gel pen
Link your cards by midnight Sunday (California time) to this blog post to be eligible for prizes!

A couple pics to illustrate how I did the faux stitching for this card





Hi! Could I ask you what the little clear square tool is? Looks interesting!
