Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I had a bit of a break from creating and blogging. It is nice to be back again.
I created today's card for Scrapbook & Cards FB Challenge. It is a recipe challenge which is detailed below and includes the link to the challenge.
If you have been following my blog, paper stitching is one of my favorite techniques to incorporate to my cards. Stitching dies, like the one I used for the flowers, are available now which makes stitching on cards easy for stitching lovers like me.
The flowers were die cut on white card stock using My Favorite Things Floral Adornments Die-namics. I used a yellow DMC floss to add stitching details to the flowers. For the flower centers, I added yellow buttons. The buttons I have available are not all yellow. I colored the buttons with a yellow Karin Paint Decobrush marker. Once this has dried, I pounced the button on a Versamark pad, then brushed some yellow pearlescent powder to it. I added a green stem die cut to the flowers using MFT Fresh Cut Flowers Die-namics.
I die cut a pocket on blue cardstock. I heat embossed the pocket detail to it using white embossing powder.
I trimmed a brown patterned paper at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I added a dry embossed impression to this panel using the Catherine Pooler Lights on Broadway Cover Plate die. This is hardly noticeable on the the photo. I flicked some gold spray to this panel and heat set to speed dry it.
I temporarily positioned a rectangle frame to the panel to give me an idea on how much area I can use for my floral arrangement. After I am happy with my floral arrangement, I started adhering the flowers with liquid glue. I added leaves to the arrangement.
I adhered the pocket to the base of the floral arrangement. I adhered the frame to the panel. I adhered the sentiment to the pocket. The sentiment was created using a Spellbinders Pocket Full of Spring Sentiments Etched die.
I hope you like today's card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

I'm a fan of stitching dies, too - and your stitched flowers are absolutely lovely, especially tucked into the sweet pocket. The embossed background is a perfect stage! Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational.
