Using Thread for Art Journey

Good afternoon and happy Wednesday. I hope everyone is well and coping with the Covid 19 outbreak. We were due to be in Dubrovnic from last weekend with my sister and her husband, but that was cancelled the day before we flew, so we had a lovely few days dog walking with her.

The Art Journey challenge Facebook group has a monthly challenge, and this month it's to use thread, so this is what I've made.

I was lucky enough to win the January challenge and chose the lovely Ben as my prize (or at least a stamp of him lol)

 I started by die cutting some black card with a Studio Light die, and adding some gilding wax.

 Then I stamped Ben on some mop up and leftover card.

 Then I die cut some Studio Light papers to make my background.

 I stitched these together and used some of the smaller stamps on the Ben plate to make my background.

 I also die cut the Ben stamps.

 Then added these to the background.

And here it is all together. 

I really enjoyed making this as it's a 'just because' piece. It's not for anything, doesn't do anything, I made it just because I wanted to!

I'm also entering this into the Craft Stamper TIMI 'Anything Goes' challenge for March.

Thank you so much for looking, and above anything else, stay safe xx
