Yes, two posts today because it is our daughter's birthday. Our little chickadee enters a new decade and we wish her health and happiness today and forever. This will be an eventful year for her as she will become a mother again in June and will finally get the wedding celebration in August that she and her husband did not get when they were married in 2020. So I had to make this special card that is a diecut that you stitch on to add your color choices. I went for a range of dark pinks with a touch of green using various thread counts of embroidery floss. The size of the holes kind of dictated the number of threads/plys to use.
I did a little thread weaving around that center motif to give it a little more dimension. This project was easy and fun to do except for threading the needle. I was using a beading needle with the single ply because of the size of the holes and used a needle threader but had to be very careful not to destroy the needle threader as I was pulling in through with the thread. I did use a thicker cardstock for the die cut so it wouldn't be too delicate to work with. I'm looking forward to trying other color combinations.
sweet card Happy Birthday to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing work of art!
ReplyDeleteThose stitching dies look like great fun, if time-consuming. Ha, I've broken a few needle threaders in my time. The card is a beautiful start to wear I hope will be a great year for her.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun to do but I would have to buy a bunch of needle threaders because I generally destroy them with a single use.
