The last challenge I took part in was number 21 and this last one is number 35, so I missed out quite a few inbetween.
I couldn't miss out on this final challenge though - using Tim Holtz' fantastic book of techniques called 'Compendium of Curiosities'
- all the challenges have been set by Linda from her blog
This final challenge focuses on the very last technique in the book
on page 67 and is called 'Design Details'.
I made a Father's Day card and it was great to use up various scraps of paper - some handmade (not by me!), scrapbook papers and there's even part of a bingo page in there too.
You may notice that my stitching isn't spaced evenly because I didn't have all the required tools, but I quite like the effect anyway (I would say that wouldn't I - lol).
Having pieced my card together, I needed something extra to go on it.
The image I had stamped and coloured a few days ago and it was laying on my desk and the colours fitted perfectly - so it had to go on! (It's a Stampotique image called 'Bow Tie')
Here's another close up of some of the (imperfect!) detail.
Linda has hinted that although these challenges are now over, she has something else in mind - and will announce what it is next Monday - I'll be keeping tuned to her blog!

Liking this alot...but then I'm a sucker for stampotique images! I like the stitching...don't call it imperfect...it's not because it just shows it's handmade and it's pairs up with the stamp image very well.
I think it is wonderful, great work. HUGS MARY
This truly is ARTISTIC! Well done!

What a Wonderfully Grungy Dads day card Sherry!!! The Stampotique image go so well with all your details!
Fantastic card, love the use of the wire!
Your card is terrific, Sherry! I love the textures of the papers and the stitching is imperfectly perfect!

PS Your post just reminded me that Mother's Day is coming up in England right? What day in March? It's in May here, but my "other" mother lives in Yorkshire...I better get a card made and sent huh?!
Wonderful card! All the elements go together perfectly!
Sherry, it's awesome to see you again, and I'm so happy you made it back for the Grand Finale!
Your Father's day card is delightful-- you did a fabulous job with the Design Details challenge, and that darling Stampotique image is the perfect choice. Your stitching looks great and the Scrabble tiles tie it all together beautifully!
See you on Monday, my dear!
Sherry, how cool! I love it and the ghouly little man!
Love it! And, I think the uneven stitching looks great - adds to the atmosphere. The details are wonderful.
Love the wonky stitches and the scrabble DAD. A fab funky card!
