Hello
Following me previous posts, birthday season has to include Mum and I always try to make this card super special.
This is what I did…
Mum loves cross-stitch and often makes me cards using cross-stitch. It’s actually where my crafting started when I was a little girl, but I don’t find the time to do it as often as I used to. So I thought it would be perfect for Mum to take some extra time with this one.
The cross stitch was a free kit on a magazine which I bought probably a year ago, and thought this design would be perfect.
Once I had completed the cross-stitch I decided not to mount it as the kit suggested but to add some paper flowers.
I watercoloured some white card…
I then used a flower die to cut some flowers…
I used the matching stamps to add some detail…
I then shaped each flower and layered up.
I cut some hexagon dies to use as a base for the cross stitch and added the flowers…
She liked it.
Thanks for visiting.
M.
