Just Magnolia DT - Use stitching (real or faux)

Morning Luvlies!! Can you believe it's Friday again, where do the days go? I just can't seem to keep up as there aren't enough hours in a day! Well onto today's card and it's for Just Magnolia. This week the lovely Dawny has chosen our theme and she wants to see stitching somewhere on your card whether it be real or faux is up to you.
I decided to get out the old sewing machine and I've stitched every layer, just don't look too closely as it's lovely and wonky lol but I suppose that's what will make it unique hehe. The dps I have used are all by Magnolia. I masked Tilda and used a digi image from MIC for the background. Thanks to the uber talented Kim Piggott for her inspiration and for giving me the idea to use this type of background. My card could never be as gorgeous as hers but maybe one day when I'm big I'll be on her level hehe.
As always I have coloured my image in with Copics and I've added stardust stickles to the butterflies, lollipop and frill of Tilda's shirt.
The fence and tag are both doohickey dies which I've distressed with some brushed corduroy and stamped the sentiment onto the tag. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash. I will be entering my card into the following challenges :
Ladybug Crafts - Flowers and butterflies
Magnolia-licious - Photo Inspiration
Magnolia Cards Challenge - Bingo (glitter, punches/dies, lace)
Simply Magnolia - Bling and bows
TOMIC - Tilda's Birthday and a sketch
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you will pop over to the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog and join in the fun with us this week. Have a great weekend. Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx
