Some cute rustic-style little birdie note cards I made with my new 'Sweet Tweets' Image Stamps : )
The Kraft card bases are 105mm square.
'Sweet Tweets' images printed onto little blue roses patterned paper from 'Vintage Rose' and also onto 'Little Polka Dots' in Pebble.
Little blue roses papers cut to 85mm around each image, and then trimmed with pinking shears.
Little birdies cut out of dotty paper and used to paper-piece the birdies on the blue roses paper.
When I'd finished them, I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to add some stitching. So I tried some with stitching and some without...
... and I loved both! What do you think? To stitch ... or not to stitch?

I can't decide either, I think I'm more inclined to say "stitch" on this one as it matches the style of the card quite nicely but the "not stitched" one works just as well, both are lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I like the stitched version best :-)

I think they are both very sweet and equally stunning. The designs are so simple but very effective.
ReplyDeleteThe stitching works great Liz, but fills me with dread lol
ReplyDeleteTerrific cards....as always

Definitely stitch - it gives extra dimension and texture to the card. Seeing the two together, one looks as if it is missing a final 'something'. Thank for your inspiration.

No doubt stitching gives it much more pizazz. Now - must have a go at the way you paper piece.
ReplyDeleteTo stitch - as always! I seem to think cards aren't done until they've been through the sewing machine :o)
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer the stitched one. Would love to give this technique a try. xxx
ReplyDeleteStitch. I love stitching on cards, it really adds character to the design.

ReplyDeleteI have to go with the stitched version. I stitch on almost all my cards because I think it just adds a really nice touch.
ReplyDeleteLoving both cards,but the stitched one just adds the extra wow x
