Stitched Embellishments On A Card (Product Feature Week)

Hello! This is my fourth post on my Product Feature Week series featuring the Trinity Stamps Big Snowflake Cut & Foil Die Set. My card for today has the same detailing with my previous project which is an ornament. Details on how I added the stitching are on my previous blog post, in case you are interested to know how I did it. I did the stitching away from my craft desk so I was able to create an extra one. 

I die cut another snowflake on pink cardstock which I adhered to the back of the stitched snowflake die cut. This adds depth to the embellishment and at the same time, prevents the end of the stitching from loosening up. 

I die cut a holographic cardstock using the third layer die. Instead of lining this up with the snowflake, I rotated it a bit to get a different look. 

I die cut the the letters to spell the word 'peace' on pink cardstock using TS Marshmallow Alphabet Die. I die cut duplicates of the letters as well. I poke holes on the letters and did a running stitch using DMC Diamant Metallic Old Rose Thread, the same thread I used on the snowflake. I used double adhesive tape to secure the thread ends. I added liquid adhesive to the back of the letters then adhered the duplicate to it.

For the background panel, I blended Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves inks on a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" purple cardstock. I heat set this to speed up the drying. I used one of the stencils from the TS Tree of Lights Stencil set but instead of keeping the tree shape of the circle holes of the stencil, I rotated the stencil so I can fill up the whole panel with scattered circle shapes into which I blended Versamark ink. After I filled the panel with the blended circles, I pounced some Ranger Perfect Pearl Grape Fizz Powder to this. 

I trimmed a sliver off the edges of the purple panel. I adhered the stitched snowflake and letters. I adhered this to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" holographic cardstock. I added TS Gorgeous Gold Baubles for some accent.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
