Cross-stitched Card

I sent this card a couple days ago for a card swap, which I can share on my blog now that I know it's reached its destination. 

I die cut a scalloped white square with a Spellbinders 
'Lacey Square' die.  I used a Marianne Designs cross-stitch die to cut all the holes in the middle.  I cross-stitched the flower using crochet cotton and matted the scalloped square on a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die cut.  I added a strip of brown ribbon to match the centre of the flower.  The layered sentiment is raised up on foam pads.

I am joining in the following challenge:
Allsorts Challenge Week 575 ~ Lots of Yellow
HLS June Anything Goes with Dies Challenge
Through the Craft Room Door ~ Anything Goes
Daisy Chain Challenge #42 ~ Flowers


Last Sunday I joined in a Stampin' Up Zoom meeting with a few crafty friends.  All the materials were sent out to everyone and we all completed our cards and chatted at the same time.  It wasn't the same as meeting face to face, but it was the second best thing.   These are my two cards.

  4. The cross stitch card is really effective and this version must be easier to mount onto a card than using fabric. The two SU cards are really pretty, delicate colours for the floral element.

  11. I love the cross stitched square with the pretty flower Liz and the two cards made with your friends are beautiful coloured too and the flowers in pink and purple look great against that soft green card. As you say not the perfect way to socialise but better than not being able to at all. x

  13. Wow Liz, I am loving that beautiful daisy stitched card! It is amazing and I love the design of the card. Yes, there have been SU Zoom parties around here too, but I haven't taken part in them. They sound like fun though and the next best thing when you can't meet face to face. I am loving the cards you made, they are beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
