I'm entering this card into two challenges. The CD Sunday challenge which this week is a colour challenge - Chocolate, Cream and one other. For my other colour I have chosen turquoise. The papers and dress form are from the Decadent Brocade cd, the flower, buttons and raffia from my stash and the tag made from the paper I printed the dress forms onto, stamped with some Inkadinkadoo swirls and inked with Distress Old Paper and Brushed Corduroy. I then backed the tag with some brown card to strengthen it and paper pieced another form over the original. I distressed the edge of the bp (as well as you can with a craft knife) and did some faux stitching with a fine marker pen. It's probably about as neat as it would have been had I done it with a needle and thread! That's where the other challenge comes in. I'm entering it into Crafty Ann's challenge - Stitching or Faux Stitching.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

I absolutely love this Beryl.
The brown and aqua colour combo is one I find myself gravitating to so often, it has a habit of giving very pleasing result.
Until I read again, I didn't realise it was fax stitching, so well done, it looks great.
