Just Magnolia Challenge-Stitches

This is my stitches challenge for Just Magnolia this week, I have used the colour purple which is inspired by the colour of my tender bruises after my first surfing lesson. I should really stop whinging it was heaps of fun and worth all the soreness. I have created a Christmas card using perfect plum and olive green cardstock from Stampin Up. This is the first time I have tried hand stitching on a card and I think I will do it more often because I like the effect.
