Happy Birthday Card

Hello,

I have another card to share that was submitted at Sketches 4 All for their Technique Tuesday Challenge (TECH-TUESDAY).  The "technique" was to use STITCHING on your project.

Using a sketch from Splitcoast Stampers (SC345), this is what I created:

The paper I did the stitching on was already embossed, so I got the brilliant idea to just stitch along these swirls.  So I got out the needle (I have a paper piercer, but chose a needle this time around) and started poking all the holes.  It wasn't long before I realized that I may have bit off more than I could chew!  This was going to be a lot of stitching!  I think it took me around an hour.  Once I got started, I couldn't just stop... all the holes were punched... so I had to continue on!  I sure won't be making any mass production of these cards!  On the flip side, I do love how it turned out though.

I embossed the lower portion of the card.  I stamped the sentiment on the embossed paper, which was double-sided, so I just flipped it over for the orange color... that matched with my other papers too.  Woo hoo!  I then cut out the circle and inked the edges.  A gem was added for the center of the flower.  Ribbon is across the bottom portion of my embroidered paper.

Supplies used:

Paper: Momenta, Colorbok

Sentiment: Inkadinkadoo

Ink: A la mode Purple

Flower & Leaves

Gem

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Embroidery Floss: Making Memories

Ribbon
