 So the stitches I do on a lot of layouts.. aren't real stitches.. what I do is use my ruler and poke holes (the Tim Holtz rulers allready has holes so it's real easy to line it up along your photo..) -and around the flowers... that was freehand poking holes  cannot do that with a ruler-then I connect the lines with a black marker ( I use the black american craft Galaxy marker a lot) I let it dry .. and then I go over it with a white Sakura Souflé pen... and that is basically it =) -------------------- |

Mirielle, your technique is a lot more involved than mine!
I just draw the "dash" stitches! Having said that, yours looks stunning! Beth |

I have that ruler, and hadn't thought of using it like that. I usually do my faux stitches free hand, but will definitely try this!
