Indecision has led to this post of two cards using the same image presented slightly differently - I couldn't decide which I preferred so I will leave it up to you to decide!!
I came across this embroidery image of a rudbeckia when I was sorting out my craft area and thought it would make a lovely image for a card. The first one I stitched was straight onto a piece of textured cardstock using one strand of embroidery silk. I then cropped the image layered it on kraft card added a sentiment then mounted it with dimensional adhesive.
The layout is based on this week's sketch challenge at "Less is More" -
For the second card I painted a light water colour wash across the piece of card before stitching the image. The difference is very subtle:
Enjoy!
As well as papercrafts I love working with textiles - cross stitch, embroidery, sewing, knitting and other textile crafts - so I was delighted to read on Virginia's View Challenge that the theme is 'Stitches'. This was going to be a chance to combine two of my loves and also a new challenge, so off I went to find inspiration card and threads. Looking through my stash I came across a circle that I had already hand stitched and so a plan came together and this is my card.
I've left the layout very simple just adding a sentiment and popping the circle onto some dimensional adhesive. All there is to do now is pop over and enter the challenge.
Enjoy!
