CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #182 - hosted by Pamela

Our last challenge for April - the sun is shining - and I hope all is well with everyone.

I have yet another stitched card for you.  I do hope you are not getting bored with them as I certainly don't get bored with stitching them.

I have done this one before but presented it a little differently.  Here  was that presentation to compare with this one.

The pattern comes from Stitching Cards.  The stripey coloured backing paper is a newish find but I can't remember from whence it came.  It matches the Chili Peppers beautifully and isn't a bad fit for perhaps adding a bit of Mexico? to the card.  It is almost the right weather for this card.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #181 - hosted by Jocelyn

 Here is my card for this challenge - #181.  Still with Spring/Easter colouring but just a very simple stitched birthday card.  The pattern is by Linzoos (R39).  I have used this pattern before - Challenge #167 - and I am stitching another version at this moment.  Some of the patterns I have chosen are quite complicated so it is nice to use a simpler one that I like a great deal.

I have used some plain and variegated thread and added some of my huge supply of  diamante gems - and - a few enamel type gems. 

Please note that the challenges will now close at 9 pm on the second Friday of the Challenge. e.g This challenge will close at 9 pm on the  24th of April 2026.
