MIM #78 Stamping & Stitching on Die Cuts

Here I am on Wednesday (not Sunday!) posting a card to Make It Monday #78.  Heather Nichols shows her expertise in stitching on her card in this video HERE

I was instantly reminded of a free download from PTI and this whimsical design by Becky Oehlers.  It already had the stitch-lines on it, so all I had to do was follow Heather's instructions with floss, back-stitching  on the "hill" of the image. It took me a bit of time and I thought half way down this hill, "Why didn't I punch out every two holes instead of every other hole?" 
Oh well, it probably looks better this way and I was pretty happy I didn't run out of thread which I cut too short ~ it was a close!  :o)

 

See my stitches on the hill? :o)
