Favourite Style of Stitching (faux or real) and WHY


Thank you to everyone who entered our last challenge. 
Our winner is :

Arty Andrea
With her cute Giraffe card

and our Top 3 4 are:
(I really shouldn't be left in charge as I always struggle to knock it down to just 3!)

Lucy Patrick
I couldn't resist Lucy's adorable chick card, those little bundles of fluff and feathers are just so cute and Lucy's bright colours are very spring-like:



Julye B
I not only loved Julye's monochrome card with red accents, but also really loved her lovely reason for choosing kitties as her favourite animal (they're mine too hun!)


Deonna 
I also love chickens (I used to have some, but after they sadly passed away we didn't replace them), and I loved her pretty card.  Gorgeous colours and love the little egg embellies.



Jenny H 
I just loved this card as soon as I saw it, both the gorgeous papers and the cute owl.  
It's a simple design, but just spot on perfect!  Love the wood-grain paper too.




Congratulations and please grab our *Top 3* badge to display on your blog:

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

For me it has to be the real McCoy when it comes to stitching.  I love the texture and the fact that it's a little bit rebellious, because it's not something that you'd usually find on a shop bought card.



Samantha
Real Stitching for me as I LOVE the extra texture without the extra colour.





Mojca

I must admit that I have a sewing machine at home, but just can't find the time to learn how to use it :( So I had to satisfy myself with faux stitching.






Sarah


I have been doing some patchwork so my sewing machine was sat there raring to go so there was no excuse for me to use the old fineliner as usual....real stitching for me this time and it actually feels really nice!!






Suzette


I have not done much stitching on cards for a while now....but here I've tried some faux stitching. Not bad!!




So now it's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite stitching, faux or real (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Hugs from the AYLI girls.
