Good morning and welcome to my blog! Today I am happy to be playing along with the April Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. The April inspiration was just too pretty to resist:
To create my card I used a handful of Papertrey Ink stamp sets and dies. First, the beautiful embroidered pattern, stamped using the Stitches and Swirls stamp set. The wood grain background was stamped using Farm and Barn, and the sentiment die-cut and stamps, the Wonderful Words stamp and die collection. I colored the mail floral image using Spectrum Noir markers. Next I embossed it using the PTI Aida Cloth impression plate. To add an extra touch of "hand stitched" dimension I used a White Souffle pen. I used my Oval Nestabilities dies to create the oval needlework frame. The metal top was created using the Tag Sale#4 die. Fun!
I am happy you stopped by today and I hope you have a wonderful day!
