One Stitch at a Time

 

The second Tapestry panel to be worked into a card used more

blooms from Embroidered Blooms, and  a smaller frame.

The flowers on the background tapestry were first stenciled in white,

before adding the blue oxide colors.

I added a little tassel to  the pearl handled scissors, and inserted my sewing 

needed in the  tread bobbin.

Just Take it One Stitch at a Time. Good  advice for all!

Tapestry Roses

 

Hello, and hope you're enjoying the end of a very hot summer. 

I finally had some time to play with The Greetery's latest release, and decided

to start with the Roses Tapestry Stencil Set.

...and  couldn't stop! Once the stenciling was done, ran each card through the

Aida Cloth Texture Plate. 

Honestly would have played with this set for days,

but knew I had to make a card, so,

After adding some trims and bobbits, ended up with a thank you card.

I  sew wanted my tapestry to  be the star, but those haughty little red handled 

scissors just had to steal the show. 

Seriously can't believe the detail on these darlings.  In this case, die cut 2 pair, and 

red embossed one, before cutting the handles and gluing them to the silver pair.

Also red embossed the the brad.

I had almost as fun photographing the card with little sewing notions!

I did  one panel on brown cardstock, first laying down a heavy coat of white

(distress oxide Picket Fence), then adding layers of color.

Stay tuned for this one...
