this week at Wednesday Stampers
the challenge was Auto's
So I made this little ATC... I've been playing a bit with sewing and then painting over the stitching, I quite like this look and thought it sort of looked like a road map, quite suited really for this theme.
Spledid bit's I've used for this ATC are - Bazzill Cardstock, Catslife Press -a little stop on my art journey stamp, Stampin Up it's a date stamp & Aged to perfection stamp, 7 Gypsies paper tab, Collections word, Dymo Tape, Raw Umber Acrylic Paint, Versa black ink pad & black EP,and my sewing machine...

love your atc! great idea with the sewing!
Fab ATC. I love the colours.
I wish my machine would play, it keeps snapping the needles. I think perhaps they are old & need to get myself new ones.
Great effect with the stitching. Love your ATC.
Wonderful ATC!!
I really love that technique that you've done with the stitching Gillian, it looks so effective,

(By the way, your word verification here just insulted me! It shouted "YuaDawg" in big bold letters. I admit I don't look the freshest at 11pm, but I don't think I'm a dog!)
ROFL.... I'm sorry hun...
