Floral Stitching

Good Afternoon

My card today is made using one of my favourite techniques, paper embroidery.


The design is stitched onto pearlescent card, then matted onto some vintage gold paper. The corners are punched using a Martha Stewart punch. The bow is made using organza ribbon from my stash.

Emma went into school today dressed as Mr Gum for World Book Day. She was delighted with her finished costume and here she is all dressed up and ready to go!


Thanks for stopping by today.

Love the card Jo, how long did that one take, I've never tried a stitched card before. The punched corners go very well with it.

I see the beard turned out very well, she does look as if she had a good time lol.
