Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I was inspired by the latest Color Hues Challenge's color combo of Red and Kraft. This is not the first time I used this color combo. I think these two colors go well together.
I started off by die cutting a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2 kraft cardstock with the Catherine Pooler Lights on Broadway cover plate die. This die creates holes on the panel. You can leave it as is but I found the holes as an opportunity to add stitching to the already beautiful die cut panel. I did a simple running stitch on most of the panel using DMC embroidery floss. Since the holes created by the die are large, I used 6 plies of the embroidery floss.
To add details, to the panel, I used red DMC embroidery floss to create an asterisk stitch. I only used 4 plies of the embroidery floss to create variation on the stitching.
To fill in the empty spaces, I stamped an asterisk using a kraft dye ink.
For the sentiment, I die cut the word on red glitter paper and twice on kraft cardstock. The word die I used is the Birch Press Big Hello Sugar Script die. I stacked the kraft sentiment die cuts. I adhered the glitter sentiment die cut over the kraft sentiment die cut slightly off setting it to create a shadow. I adhered this to the panel. I adhered this to a top folding note card.
I hope you like today's card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

The stitching adds such depth to your card and the little kraft stamped star is a fab addition. Thanks for joining us at Colr Hues. :)
