It is rare that I play along on Thursdays. When I saw the stitched theme for the Ways to Use it, I thought of a House Mouse image (with thread and needle, I think) I got from a swap.
But I couldn't find it anywhere.
Undeterred, I used a different image and made my own stitching. I also pulled out this huge brad, which has a stitched motif. I had issues with my ribbon, but I left it as is.
With this brad, my card will definitely be hand delivered! The card also works for a past Paper Players challenge, as I work on my 2016 goal to finish them all.
Thanks for the fun challenge, Lisa!

Oh, I love those brads - it looks like some K & Co ones I have, but you're right, they are bulky! But hand delivery and including in a package that is being mailed anyway are both great options. And it looks lovely with the added stitching in matching colours.

I am so glad to see you join in on the In Stitches challenge. Your stitching is fantastic and the Brad matches beautifully with your stitching. Thank you for joining in on the challenge this week.
