Good morning
It's time for a new challenge at A Gem of a Challenge and our host is the lovely Christine with a sketch but there is a twist because you also need to include stitching and a sentiment. The stitching can be real or faux.
Now i'm useless with a sewing machine and my hand drawn stitching is ... well the less said about that the better lol! so I cheated and used a patchwork paper with printed stitching.

Well that's all from me as this is a scheduled post and by the time it publishes we will be heading up the motorway to the NEC for the Top Gear Live show. We are all Top Gear fans and went to the show last year and absolutely loved it! We booked tickets for this year's show a few weeks ago but haven't told Chloe and Jamie so it's going to be a surprise. We've told them I am going to watch a craft demonstration and they are dropping me off ... to say they are not impressed is an understatement lol! Can't wait to see their faces when we tell them.
Hope you all have a great weekend :-)

Fab card with stunning attention to detail and your image looks gorgeous. I hope you don't mind me asking but where abouts in Norfolk are you? It's always nice to find fellow crafters who live close.
