For this, I used No: 4 of Tina's Flower Embroidery plates from Groovi. I didn't stitch in all the places marked for stitching. Instead, I embossed the outer swirls and leaves and then just chose the places that I wanted to decorate with stitching. I used a mauve Mirri card for my background stitching plate.
It did take quite a while to complete. I used a Gutermann Sulky Holoshimmer thread which broke very easily if you got bit enthusiastic with it. More haste - less thread.
I did buy all four of the set of plates and fully intend to complete the other three.
I had started this project some time ago but - as you do - I had put it away whilst getting on with something else. I was reminded that I had started it when a gorgeous birthday card arrived from a friend that was one of these four plates. I was inspired to find mine and finish it.
Here is the card I received:
Isn't it fabulous? Marion had also adapted her pattern. The centre is a little different and that border is to die for. Marion designs the most fantastic borders.
I will see you later. It is CD Sunday tomorrow.

Both the cards, the one you made and received are gorgeous Carol. It's also reminded me that I bought this set of groovi plates too and I've not touched them since they arrived.
