Here is my first CD Sunday Plus card for the New Year of 2026. Yet another stitched card, but I do enjoy creating them.
This one is a pattern from Linzoos. Pattern no: Kerst 520. The central image of Sweet Peas is a digital image I purchased from Etsy. The thread colours were chosen to match the colours of the flowers
Sweet Peas are a particular favourite of mine, and also of the intended recipient, whose birthday is later in January, and who grows them in her garden.
When I gave the photo of the card to Pamela for her to add to her posting, I hadn't added the greeting, so here is an extra photo:
I hope everyone enjoyed a Happy Christmas and New Year. I look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations and joining in more of the activities.
Hugs
Carol xx

14/2/26 Now we are past the birthday date I can reveal that the recipient of this card was my younger sister. She is a very keen gardener and does produce some spectacular Sweet Peas. And other flowers of course, not just Sweet Peas Sadly - these days - I can't get down to see her garden anymore so I rely on memories.
A wonderful card ,it's a summers day in winter

DeleteAbsolutely stunning Carol. Such beautiful stitching and a lovely image in the centre. She's going to be a very happy recipient x
ReplyDeleteI really love this and the delicate stitched detail around the edges of your beautiful image. My mother in law used to grow sweet peas in abundance in her garden, so they always make me smile when I see them New Year, Michelle x
