Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our theme this week has been chosen by the lovely Catherine and is 'Stitching - real or faux'. Our wonderful sponsors this week are Passion for Stamps and Crafty Devils Papercraft, 2 chances to win :-)
So onto my DT piece, I have opted for real stitching and cross stitched a cute owl design and popped him on the front of a decorated notebook. I didn't have enough of the stripy paper to cover the whole book so I cut the piece I did have in half horizontally and added the brown strip across the centre to cover the gap ;-) I think I am going to give this to my dad for his birthday...
Here's a close up of the owl...
