WHEW!! If you have a 1/4 inch square punch, lots of time, patience, a little lunacy, a pair of tweezers and a good set of finger nails, WELL, this is the card for you. It was a challenge gone crazy. Julia wanted us to be inspired by patchwork and...I was. All the stitching was created with my trusty ZIG .005 marker. The tree was created with nesties squares cut into triangles.

You just never cease to amaze, Michele! Your card is so wonderful in so many different ways. Love the bg/dp and then there's the card. Oh my, girl, I cant believe your zig did all that fabulous faux stitching. This is so you and just so precious, Michele. You are such a talented person!
