Thank You

Today I'm sharing quite a different style of card to the usual as this one has some hand-sewing on it. It was great fun to make!




I started with the hand-sewing element. I used metallic silver thread to create the design, which basically involves passing the needle between a set number of holes each time you create a stitch. The finished effect reminds me a bit of spirograph! I layered the purple stitched panel onto silver, then green and then onto my white 6x6 inch card blank. I embellished the design using die cut and inked flowers and leaves. A sentiment with a silver drop shadow tied the whole design together. I finished the card off with silver glitter glue and some gems.


I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card.
