The Studio Challenges - News!

Hello again!

As usual, at the beginning of the month one post comes after the other ;)

So, today I want to share with you some news that made me really happy and many of you already know: I have become a member of The Studio Challenges design team!!! Oh yesss!!!!

I was sooo happy because this challenge blog was one of the first that I was following when I started with scrapbooking and I have always admired the creations of the design team!

So today is my first layout as a DT member. The challenge is to use stitching on our layout - can be hand stitching or machine stitching. I went for both:

For the first time I used hand stitching to make the title. First I wrote the title with a pencil, I pierced the paper tracing the letters, erased the pencil and the used some yarn to stitch the title. I went for the yarn because I wanted to make the title a bit bolder.

And of course I couldn't resist using my sewing machine as well. I stitched the subtitle and the frame around the layout.

...After destroying a considerable number of papers, I think I've started learning the techniques with water-based colours and lots and lots of water. For this layout I wanted to use intense colours, so I reached to my Dylusions mists. A closer photo to see the result:

I liked it quite a lot and I think I'm going to repeat it!

So that's all for today... Come over at The Studio Challenges to see what the DT has stitched and to play with us!

Hope you like it,

Hugs,
Anastasia
