This time at Inkspirational
we want to see some stitching, Machine stitching, hand stitching, faux stitching using pens or dies,.. it's up to you. The theme was chosen by yours truly, and I like to machine stitch. And lately I haven't done much to tidy up the loose ends.
The background is a DP with numbers and text. I also used numbered stamps from Tim Holtz on the DP, and the man - a stamp from Lost Coast design - has text all over him. I used a book page to stamp the wreath from Altenew, and Tim Holtz s´dies for the stamp with number. Final element is a die cut meaning "conngratulations" or "happy birthday". So there are lots of letters and numbers on here, and the card is made for a man turing 50 later this year.
Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my INK-teamies have made.
This card is also for:Sparkles Forum Challenges - #161 For Men Only
Moving along with the Times - #151 February - Numbers

Beautifully designed Pia,you combined a fabulous selection of elements on this brilliant masculine card
Another amazing masculine card Pia, you are so talented with them! Love that man stamp and the wreath made with book page! Glad to see your stitching all around, it looks great!
A wonderful 'man' card Pia. Great job!
Kudos to you Pia for using real stitching! I used to do some and it almost always jammed up my machine! - love the look of the uncut ends floating around the card - your card is a wonderful mix of textures, numbers and text! A great design for a masculine 50th and a fun challenge for us! Julia xx

The man turning 50 will absolutely love this masculine marvelous card; I most certainly do! The text background, the book page wreath, the colours: such a cool combination. And *real* stitching! Awesome! Fabulous inspiration for your challenge!

WOW!! I Love your card and colours Pia..Loz
Faux stitching can look great but there's nothing like the real thing. The untidy ends look great and even the die cut sentiment has a kind of embroidered look. Great card.
Haha I had trouble logging in earlier but I left the anonymous comment earlier!
