Using one of my favourite dies again today as I love including cross-stitching on my cards. This die is actually the tag die I used for one of the cards in my last post. This time I cut off the top of the tag to make it into a rectangle so I could make a Double Z Fold card. This card will be going later in the year to a friend who loves penguins.
I used a MFT 'Cross-Stitch Tag' die and the cross-stitching was done with crochet cotton. The embossing folder Sheena Douglass' - 'Water Ripples'. The patterned paper was an odd sheet from my stash.
I am joining in the following challenges:
This is a cute cross stitched penguin Liz and looks great incorporated into this interesting 'Z' fold shaped card, and I love the SD Water Ripples EF with the blue spotted dp which makes a pretty backdrop to the fun penguin. x
