This is the 15th card uploaded of approximately 50 hand-stitched cards I made, 44 of those were given to my Mom, who is a master cross-stitcher. For years I had been looking for a way to incorporate hand-stitching on my cards to make for my Mom. When I watched a wonderful video tutorial by Jennifer McGuire, who introduced the Paper Smooches Hand-stitching die as well as how to stitch and a few basic stitches, I knew that I had found my answer.
All of the patterns that I have uploaded and color combinations have been my own. I have made 2 hand-stitched pieces that I made into cards that I copied the patterns, if I upload those, I will acknowledge my source.
This was created to look like a sampler, but I used more vivid colors of embroidery yarn, and I die-cut the thanks sentiment from purple fun foam, then I brushed on a layer of Glossy Accents to give the sentiment a shiny look like hopefully molten glass.
Thank you for stopping by to take a closer look at my hand-stitched card. When you take the time and the effort to leave a comment, it is very encouraging, whether it is my card or someone else's card.
