Distressed Stitching!

Hey!

Well finally unpacked and getting back to reality now (well, reality for me is I still have 4 weeks off work ;D)

Now I've been itching to get back into crafting but my mojo is AWOL - maybe I left it in Abersoch? Or maybe I just need to surf a little more around Blogland to kick it into gear....

Nevertheless I've already been required to make a card for Chris' parents to thank them for a lovely holiday. If I'd have been organised I'd have already made one before we left for the sea-side and presented them with it at the end, but me being me I leave it until the last minute LOL!

So no mojo, no idea what to do, I just got stuck in and created this:
I know it's not special and there's no button in sight but seeing as this is going to be posted a la Royal Mail I kinda like to keep it flat if possible and to deter a trip to the post office - I tell ya, I'm becoming a regular in my local post office for posting normal sized envelopes that happen to be bulky with buttons!
Now in an effort to add some 'jazz' I attempted to play with my sewing machine - I'm still kinda scared of the thing to be honest! In a bid to hide my awful lines I figured I'd make them intentionally wonky - hence the kinda free-spirited, distressed look! Still needs lots of practise on that darned machine, either that or maybe I should just sell it!

I'm also going to enter this card into the current challenge over on the A Passion For Papertrey Blog which conveniently happens to be to make a Thank You card!
