SSS Monday: It's A Stitch up

Happy Wednesday, I made a card for SSS Monday Challenge : It's A Stitch up. When I saw the challenge name, it reminds me this stamp set and I really want to play with it. 

I am using Hero Arts CL397 Sew Original and CL429 Simple Handmade. I stamped the stitch hearts to create the top and bottom border with white ink on Kraft CS. Then I stamped the spools and cute buttons in white and I color them with grey Copic marker to make a frame around the images. Adhere on a piece of grey card base.

I gold emboss the scissor, cut it out and foam pop on card front. 

I stitch the bottom edge of the card base with twine. Love how it turn out. I am not very good with sewing and I am glad I jump into and did the stitch.
