"Phonebanker" LO (3rd DT Work) for Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #77: Stitching Faux or Real

I'm proud to say I made use of a new technique . . . REAL STITCHING!  I usually just do faux . . .

It's the last week for the month of July 2011 and so . . . my 3rd DT Work is here with Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #77 - faux or real stitching. Winner to be drawn randomly with sponsor prize of 2 digi images from The Crafty Pad on Tues, Aug. 2, 2011 at US timezone.  Participants have until Sun., July 31, 2011 to link their entries at the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.


SOUS Inspiration Sketch by Nanne Harry

SUPPLIES: Paper: K&Company, Alphabet: American Craft, Tape Measure: Cosmo Cricket, Clock Chipboard: Dusty Attic, Flowers: All About Scrapbooking, Glittering Stones: UBL, Digi Ticket Images: The Crafty Pad, Thread: DMC, Journaling Pen: Parker, Ink Pad: Horse, Sketch: Nanne Harry of Stuck On Us Sketches, Other: Lace.

DESIGN NOTES:  I started with finding a position for my clock chipboard after applying ink on the outside.  Before adhering the clock, I double stitched around the marked edges where the clock is to be placed.  It took time for me to decide what color of threads to use and whether to apply single or double stitching.  I guess I was afraid that the colors won't jive.  Placing the photo underneath the clock, I glued them on my paper together with the tape measure which was measured exactly to the right length that's not awkward to look at from afar.  I then chose the right colors for the flowers and clustered them on the lower right hand side of the clock plus the 2 Crafty Pad tickets as accents.  Then, I finished of with a white lace on the bottom and journaling on the top right hand side of the tape measure.

There you have it!  Doesn't it look gorgeous?  It's my 1st attempt to use rich-colored paper for an LO.
