With Christmas looming so large we at CD Sunday are continuing with our Christmas themes and 'Sparkle and Shine' should be a good one for you all to enter.
I have done a stitched card for this theme and I bought the pattern on line from
Cardmaking Online in Australia and the very talented designer is Emelie.
Here it is:
The CD content is the backing paper from La Pashe 'Big One Backing Papers'. The colours were perfect. The stitch pattern is very very fine and took quite a while but I really like the finished effect. I have added some red chalk to the bow to give it some depth and shading and sewed very tiny glittery seed beads inside the green stitching and on the little red stars. The Merry Christmas is a glittered peel off. I can't remember who made the die I used for the bows.
Please visit

Gorgeous stitched card, no doubt it took some time to stitch and add the beads, you are right the backing paper fits the design perfectly.

Love the traditional colours Carol, the tiny beads must have taken ages to sew on but they add lots of sparkle and shine, a very special card
ReplyDeleteCarol what a lot of patience you must have....all those seed beads stitched on to your design. It's a beautiful card and will be treasured by whoever is lucky enough to recceive it. Hugs Wynn x
