Father's Day Faux Stitched Wallet

Hi all you Dandi Crafters! I am here at my new design team home Sugar Sweet Paper Treats and couldn't be more excited to post my first project as a member of this great team!
Oh man I was so eager to get my first challenge assignment, then when I got it I was like, "Oh no I don't SEW!!" So you know that left faux stitches. Well I had never done those before either. GASP!! I KNOW!!...OK NOW you don't want to make me feel too much like a crafting freak on my maiden post..LOL I then needed to come up with something that needed stitching so it didn't look like I just added stitching to be done. LOL! So since Father's Day is next week I thought a good faux wallet would do nicely. The wallet is from a SCAL file I designed. I made the design available for you to download on my blog http://www.dtsartblog.com/. The lightening bolt emblem is from Cricut Cartridge Paper Dolls Dress Up, page 56 Accessories 2, no shift key, in the hand book. I also used cuttlebug's embossing folder, Spots and Dots, to give it a bit of texture to add some interest. I look forward to seeing you all again on our next challenge. Just think maybe next time it will be something I am actually good at comfortable with! LOL
