CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #190 - hosted by Pamela

 

This stitched card was made using a pattern by 'Laura'.  Another of my favourite designers. The thread colours were chosen to match the colours of the die-cut image by Tattered Lace that I chose to use in the centre of the frame.  These are the 'Magnolia' teacups - one of my favourite of all die-cuts.

I try to use items from my stock of Nail Art items when I can and when they are appropriate. For this card I used some 'violet' flowers for the corners, a yellow flower in the saucer and a bee on the magnolia flower.

Laura's pattern - by the way,  is no: 320

p.s.  Just a little note here that may be of interest.  I keep a box of 5 self-testing Covid Rapid testing kits in the house and yesterday I noticed that they were just now out of date so I have ordered some more.  They haven't been opened or used but I would rather have some in date if I need one.  We have done in the fairly recent past so its best to be sure.

The stitch pattern is by Linzoos, pattern  Z12,  and the centre image of flower filled wellingtons are a die cut from Tattered Lace.

My apologies (which I haven given verbally) go to Pamela for this slightly different posting as I played about with this card after I had sent her the photograph of the original taken before I had added the nail art flowers  - and brightened up the image.  I do love the nail art and these new ones arrived recently so I had to use them.

I  have decided to use this as a September Birthday Card and it is ready in the envelope to be posted later in the month.

I hope all are well and not too exhausted by this heat.

Hugs
