Lullaby

This page was created for Scrappin Studio using the Studio Calico July kit and it's my last project for the month of July. My next assignment would be in September. If you ever noticed, I love to add faux stitch to both my cards and scrapbook page. Of course the main reason is I don't have a sewing machine so the next available and reliable tool to go for would be my tracing wheel. I also created a very short tutorial for Scrappin Studio blog and thought I will share it here with you today.


All you need is a tracing wheel which you can get from a sewing store and an ink of your choice. I usually use either black or dark brown. Am too chicken to try other colors.....


First, ink your wheel a couple times on your ink pad......


Next, roll your tracing wheel onto your project. It could be on anything. Letter stickers (as shown below), borders, etc........


Voila, faux stitch in under one minute ♥
