I like to stitch on my projects, since it gives a great texture and feel to the project. You can use real or faux stitching. I am looking forward to seeing everyone's creations. Don't miss the project by our September guest designer Susanne with her blog Susanne's Blog.

I made a tag with a partial canvas background and some messy machine stitching. I also stitched the buttons to the tag. 

I started out with these canvas scraps. They had been colored with Paper Artsy Infusions Color Stains and there was some white embossed letters on them too.

Adhere a piece to a kraft tag and white emboss the Simon Says Stamp Circle Pattern.

Tear a three more pieces of canvas and stitch everything to the background with messy stitching. Pull the threads out on the front.

Add color and texture by splattering with Scribble Sticks.

Die cut the Tender Leaves from watercolor paper. The paper had been smooched with Distress Inks. I think it was Pumice Stone, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Crackling Campfire. 

Simon Says Stamp Big Scripty Hugs was die cut from gloss cardstock and inked with Peacock Feathers.

Four buttons were stitched to the tag with orange thread. I also added some other bits and pieces. This is a very tactile project.

I usually use either white or black thread when stitching, it was fun with some color for a change.

Dye ink looks wonderful on glossy paper.
