7/12 July

 

Paper Flowers

This is one of the first patterns I stitched when I first started making cards using the prick and stitch method of embroidery. This time I personalized it by adding some punched paper flowers which I made instead of stitched ones. I think it turned out very well indeed.

I edged the top panel with a gold felt tipped pen and added gold peel offs to complete.

The one below is stitched as the pattern was intended.

Supplies:

Pattern: Stitching Cards. Flower border happy birthday
Thread: Scraps of green. Purple (make and number of all unknown)

             Gold:  Gold: DMC Antique Effects E436
Rolfex metallic pens in green and gold

Butterfly punch

Gold peel offs

Olba Bloemenponstang punch with attachment Q006 and Q007 for flowers 

Valentine's Day Part 2

Another card which can be used for Valentine's Day or a wedding or anniversary I suppose.

I used a corner punch and scrap of ribbon to complete.

Venetian Steps

I think every home should have a beautiful entrance. I love looking at how people personalize the access to their homes. Some really make a lot of effort and usually the interior continues that pride.

Today's cards have a door and steps as their theme.
For the first one I have combined embroidery and silk ribbon embroidery. Although the ribbon flowers took a really long time to make I was very happy with the end result.

For this one I wanted a Mediterranean feel so besides using traditional colours associated with this area I added punched flowers to the pots. It was a lot quicker but I actually prefer the one above.

Pattern: Form-A-Lines , Venetian flower tub and steps
Olfa pliers punch, small and big flower attachments
Stickles in Gold
Thread: Second card: red, light grey and navy
