I found this incredible DP by Anna Griffin and knew I had to have it. I love the old fashioned look of this card, and all the other segments of the DP that I haven't gotten to yet. I used my cutterbee paper piercing tool and a caramel marker to simulate stitching. Umber was sponged around the edges to antique it. The layout came from the latest Holiday cards magazine and I love it, thanks to the creator. Red bling completes the little holly cluster in the corner.

Wow!! That is amazing work! The more I see of faux stitching, the more I think I might actually use it in a card one day. I love the holly leaves and bling, too.

What they all said !! LOL I've been experimenting a bit with the faux stitching myself. I really like what it adds to things. Did you use some kind of rolly thingy to get the holes pierced to evenly? I might have to invest in one!
