A card I made for a young lady who loves horses.
I used a Marianne Designs 'Cross Stitch Heart' die set and the cross stitching was done with crochet cotton. The background was embossed with a Lisa Horton 'Padded Quilt' embossing folder. I layered a strip of stripy ribbon over a purple mat and attached the finished heart with foam pads. The horseshoe was punched and tiny grey pearls added.
I am joining in the following challenges:
As You Like It Challenge ~ Favourite Colour and Why..... Purple is such a bright and cheerful colour and there are so many beautiful shades.
I just love the addition of the little horseshoe. Like the colour combo too. hugs Mrs A.

Oh my gosh, I just LOVE this! The cross stitching is a wonderful design and I absolutely LOVE the colors. That little horseshoe is a perfect accent for a horse lover (like myself)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color choice, Liz! Great use of embossing for texture and the horseshoe is a perfect addition. Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble Challenge #131.
ReplyDeleteLiz, what a truly beautiful card you've created! Using the white background is genius since it lets that cross-stitched heart star front-and-center!! Thank you so much for sharing your card and your creative talents with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, just adore this and great design xx
ReplyDeleteI love those colours and I love to see cross stitching on cards. Every time I see it I think I must get back to it myself, but somehow it never happens these days. They were some of the first cards I made. Yours is beautiful and well deserving of the top 5 at Allsorts xx
