Technique for making FAUX STITCHES supplies needed for technique: Paper Piercing Tool, Paper Piercing template, paper piercing foam backer pad (all found in the CRAFTERS TOOL KIT), white gel pen, cardstock. additional supplies needed for this porject: 3 felt flowers, 3 half back pearls (in Pretties Kit), adhesives, card base and layers. I started by adding my first band layer to the card so i could have starting point for my stiching. I lined my template (that has hole 1/8" apart) up to the yellow layer. using piercing tool, pierce holes in equal increments. These are your stitch holes. after you have made all your holes it should look like this. take your gel pen and connect dot-to-dot. Not in one swift movement line the whole length of the card, but conecting each dot to dot. here's a finished image of the stitching. add your embellishments and you're done! this is a front view. I added this so you could see how the felt flowers do not have a sheen in real life... (but the flash from the camera adds the sheen). However in this photo it is not true to color (which isROSE RED). Next photo shows closer to real color. now you see the flash was on and the sheen is back... but the color is truer to life.
