A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Christine has chosen the theme of 'Seaside'. As always there is also the option of Anything Goes.
I used a Marianne Design cross stitch die and cut it into a circle using a Memory Box 'Stitched Circles Layers' die. I used a free Marianne Designs cross stitch pattern HERE and used crochet cotton for the stitching. The patterned paper is from a Crafter's Companion 'Nautical Collection' paper pad. I attached the stitched image with foam pads to add some dimension. The sentiment was punched with a Stampin' Up punch and layered on a rectangular mat.
There are two prizes each of two Sentimentally Yours stamps from Grafton Crafts , a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop offering free p&p on all orders over £15
Love your cross stitched cards and this one is perfect for the theme with the pretty papers you've used.
ReplyDeleteThe muted tones of your background papers are perfect to showcase the beautifully stitched shell
