Hand stitching time

I have 2 layouts to share today and l have hand stitched on both. I love this look but spare time is not always on my side.
The first layout is from the Week 3 sketch over at Let's get Sketchy

My stitching is the red swirl and around the border of the red patterned paper.
I used a mask on my base paper and added liquid pearls to the little squares


 
Here is the sketch
 
 
My second layout is for the current sketch at Stuck. 
 

 
I have stitched the red circles to tie in with the red of the scarf.
These photos bring back the happiest memories of our holiday together with my mum.
 
This is the sketch
 
 
Thanks for looking!

  7. Great job on the stitching Jacqui! I have a slight addiction to stitching on my layouts, usually by machine, but every so often I do it by hand. I love the texture it adds. Thanks for sharing your work with us at Let's Get Sketchy!
