Stitched All Around

And this card truly is "Stitched All Around", but I learned a valuable lesson, cut your mat to stitch to FIT the stitching plates, to avoid that empty space in each corner cause your paper is longer than the plate.  DUH, see I am saving you PAPER and Time with this one!!  I tried to line up and stitch again, but not my finest effort!

I used the Stamparatus and lined up the accent stamp and stamped in Mint Macaron on Mint Macaron card stock.  I wanted the lines closer together than the Hinge technique so will have to show you that later.
I also tried the Stitching on the card base....NOT a Good idea!!  You cannot turn your paper and get an even cut.  Cut a Mat TRUST me!!  I should have measured the plate, it easily covers the 4 1/4 inch side.  I would guess the plate is 5 inches long.  SO a good mat size would be 5 X 3 3/4.

 This Focal Stitched piece is Beautiful and the Sentiment can be used for Birthday, Wedding, Anniversary, many occasions!  I added some Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins.  Far from Basic!  Beautiful Subtle colors, Mint Macaron, Pearl White, Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam and Sahara Sand.

I admit this Bundle was not on my radar, but my Dear Friend Deb gifted this to me!! Thank you Deb!!!
