This week is our lovely Catherine's turn to host and she would like to see 'Stitching real/faux'
Here is what I did, I used a Passion For stamps digi image called "The Scarecrow", and decided to make a door hanger for my cousin, he is just returning to Pittsburgh US, and has set up home with his Girlfriend. It is a wooden Hanger and had something wrote on it about the kitchen, so I altered it completely and everything I added apart from the silver heart.  I used stazon to stamp Welcome at the top.  I don't really like scarecrows but when I saw this one I thought he was kinda sweet. My stsiching is Faux around my image.
