Trying new things!

The use of embroidery on cards has interested me for a while so I decided to try it out by taking a virtual Christmas card class with Liette from Glitter and Ink.  We created the first card with Spellbinders dies and embossing folder. The flowers and “greenery” are made for white, vellum and an iridescent paper.   I love how the red frame and sentiment are a wonderful contrast to the white embellishments.

Next, we learned how to embroider the JOY card. We used embroidery floss for the leaves and larger flowers while the smaller flowers were done with thread. I finished this one up after class and am now working on the blue one you see in the background.  I enjoyed doing them and you may see another some time in the future!
