I made this card for a blogging friend a little while ago and forgot to post a photo on my blog after it had been received.
I embossed the background with a Lisa Horton's 'Padded Quilt' embossing folder. I won a craft voucher over in Kath's blog and I chose to spend it on this lovely Die-namics 'Cross-Stitch Flower Frame' die. I used the die with green card and cross-stitched the pattern with yellow crochet cotton, adding a yellow circle in the middle. The sentiment was stamped in green on a slightly smaller white circle. I used Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' and 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' die cuts for the layers and raised the green one up on foam pads, after adding a strip of yellow and white dotty ribbon across the middle of the card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
