Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge #25 - Real or Faux Stitching

This week at Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge Geri has challenged us to use stitching or faux stitching on your card.  Remember,  we offer a random weekly winner a FREE Mark's Finest Papers stamp set as a prize! For every 50 entries, we pick ANOTHER random winner! [Yes, you may play more than once] If you use MFP stamps, you are entered twice!
Whenever I think of stitching or faux stitching on a card I think of quilt cards.  So that is what I went with for this week's Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge.  I stamped the poinsettia from the ornament image in the Seasonal Poinsettia set on Making Memories red paper and cut it out.  I popped it up on a foam square and placed it over the quilt design I created with the Making Memories patterned papers.  The sentiment is also from Seasonal Poinsettias.  I pierced around the quilt and used a Spica Black glitter pen for the faux stitching.  I was inspired by SCS user whitney56's Paper Quilt card
Thanks for coming by!
