Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I stitched the letters I used on this card a while back. I wasn't able to make it into a card until now. I hope you like it.
The stitched letters are made using a die from Spellbinders. If you have been following my blog, I love to stitch. When Spellbinders came out with this alphabet dies, I added it to my wish list until finally I was able to purchase it. I die cut the letters on patterned paper which can be flimsy and won't stand the frequent handling while stitching. That's why I die cut duplicates of the letters on cardstock and adhered the patterned paper die cuts to this to make it sturdy.
The slimline background die is from Pinkfresh Studio. Same with the floral embellishments which actually is a washi tape. I adhered the washi tape to a white cardstock, burnish it to remove any air bubble, and fussy cut it. This washi tape has a coordinating die cut I don't have it.
I added a burlap die cut to the back of the scallop windows. I die cut this on kraft cardstock. The die I used is from HoneyBee. To add some interest to the burlap die cut, I added gold foiling by heat setting sticky embossing powder to several parts of the burlap. I burnished the foil on the stick areas. Not all foil will work using this technique. Only the non-heat activated foil works on this technique. I used the Deco Foil transfer sheets. This is also one way of using those left-over scraps of foil. Even ones that are already used since you are not foiling a large area.
I also added gold gems from Pretty Pink Posh. The sentiment strip was made by heat embossing the sentiment using a stamp from Lawn Fawn. The strip die I used is from Avery Elle.
I adhered this panel to a top folding kraft slim line card.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Mother's Day! Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
