I thought I would like to show you a couple of the stitched cards that I have been making whilst I convalesce. I am not allowed or even able to do much of anything physical, so once I have taken my stack of pills and done my daily exercises, I am free to stitch.
This is pattern 602 from Laura's Design. The central image is a 3D decoupage from Hearty Crafts. I used a variegated thread to tone in with the colours of the flowers in the teacup. I also found a picture of similar coloured flowers and made a background sheet using my Kaleidoscope programme. I will add a sentiment when I decide when to use the card.
This second card is a design by Linzoos. Pattern Z77.
Again, I have used a 3D decoupage image in the centre. I think it is from the same source as the one above, but I am not sure. Different threads, though this time. These are K.O. threads. They are perfect for card stitching, but I do wish they had a bigger colour range.
I have made so many such cards over the last few weeks - including Christmas ones - that I think I will have enough for my lists next year. I am usually fairly ahead with my card-making, but I think that I will break all records this year.
I am enjoying the fact that I am now able to join in with CD Sunday Plus again - and of course, my contribution to the team cards will be stitched. Now there's a surprise.
Hugs
