What a great idea! I love stitching, but as you said, it is a pain to dig out the sewing machine. This is quick and easy and gives the same effect!

Oooh, I've seen this done with a white pen and our piercing tool, but never the sanding/embossing. You are amazing!

I wouldn't have thought to do the distressing first. I think I have only seen the faux stitching with hand drawn lines. TfS!

This doesn't work when sewing clothes, but it sure is the coolest when working with card stock! Very well done, Tresa.

Love it! I've wanted to know an easier way to stitch, this looks very simplistic and I adore the CTMH ruler, an absolute must have in my crafting inventory. Thanks for posting this simple technique. HUGS

LOVE it!.. I bought a fancier kit of sorts, of which I will not mention names, but it was the biggest waste of money, in MY opinion, that I've ever spent! It'll be on the shelf of my local Salvation Army store very soon, I'm thinking! ~tina

Well, this is easier than joining the dots with a pen! Great tip, Tresa!

This is a genius technique. TFS!

Wow, the finished piece looks great. I would have never thought to combine the embossing and the faux stitching. You rock! Will have to try this in the future.
