CD Sunday Challenge - Hot Hot Hot

Hi,
Another fortnight has gone by and now its my job is to choose the winner from the last challenge which was my challenge.  Now its a new challenge and it Hot Hot Hot by Jocelyn.  I am not sure if this is what Jocelyn had in mind but this is what came in my mind when I saw the list.
I used for the backing paper Something for Everyone Cd By La Pashe, Fireman background no 3.
 The corset is a peel off by Starform which I have stitched with gold thread, threaded with matching velvet ribbon,  added some white lace around the top and red feathers at the bottom.  It was then matted on a black embossed base,  with a small matching ribbon bow.
Finished off with the words I'm Hot  in gold peel offs.
Please do pop over and see the DT cards on the  CD Sunday Challenge site and here is a link to the blog.    If you would like to join in we would be delighted to see you and remember to use something from a CD.
                                    Hugs

Stitched card

Hi,

I was hoping to show you more than one card,  but it never happen so here is a stitched birthday card with two shades of blue on a Starform stitching peel off and I added beads into the design.  I then matted it onto a blue card and finished it off with gold peel off's
I hope you like it

Stitched Cards, and my 500th post

Hi,

This is my 500th post,  I never thought when I started this blog I would ever write 500 posts,  I was going to do a giveaway but unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control and when I tell you about this week I hope you will understand this is the last thing on my mind at the moment.  Hopefully I can do a giveaway later in the year.

On Tuesday we travel to Sheffield, and on Wednesday morning at 7.30 I go into hospital for an eye operation.  Its not easy to go into details and I am sure some of you would feel a little queasy if I tell you the whole thing,  but to put in simple words I have a tumour behind my eye.   Only five to seven people in 1 million people get this.  Vernon is going to stay in the house for relatives until I can come home,   I will be in hospital for approximately five days.  He wont be able to touch me, as I will be radio active, so I told him he can throw things at me I wont mind,  of course it also means its a two way thing I can throw things back to him.

 Anyway back to the post,  these stitched cards are made using Star-form Stitching Peel off's,   I used metallic gold multi coloured thread and beads,
This is one it autumn leaves and acorns using gold thread, with a border down the side and bottom,  this is a close up of the card above.

 This is my take on an abstract vase of flowers,   I used three heart peel off's to make the vase,  the flowers are in red metallic thread with green metallic thread for the leaves and red beads

 This is a close up

 Another vase of flowers this time using a square peel off to look like a vase and again the flowers are in the same red metallic thread and beads,  and green metallic thread for the leaves

Close up of the card





These peel off's are great for quick stitching designs and can be played with to make various abstract designs, as well as interesting cards.  
I hope my next 500 posts will be as varied and as interesting as my last 500,   I one thing I enjoy with blogging its nice to show you different things and different crafting ideas.  I hope I can keep finding new things for the blog.
I hope you are having a lovely weekend,  I am not sure when I will post again but in the meantime take care,
                                  Hugs
