The Allsorts Challenge #745 begins today and Lynn has chosen the theme of 'Dies'. If you don't have any dies, you can always use the Anything Goes option.
I used a Marianne Designs square cross-stitch die. The small mats were die cut with Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' dies. I use crochet cotton for the cross stitching. The background was embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Sashiko' embossing folder. I added two deep yellow pearls to balance the design of my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
This is so pleasing on the eye and beautifully put together Liz.
