I was inspired by 2 things for today's card: the lovely pink in our crabapple that recently blossomed, and my '"inheriting" of my Mom's embroidery flosses - she had such pretty colors! So I pulled out this frilly Stitched Flower and had an afternoon of fun.
supplies: white card, pink heart patterned paper from Doodlebug's Cute & Crafty collection, Spellbinders Stitched Flower dies, embroidery flosses, Pink Fresh Studio Sending Phrase Builder die
I used 3 tones of pink floss to stitch my flowers, and 2 shades of green. These flowers are such a nice size - you aren't committing to hours of time to bring them to life.
Here's a photo of our crabapple - love its pinks; it starts out dark pink and the petals fade to a pale pink as they age.
So wonderful to have those supplies from your mom, Lin - nice legacy that you can use them too! Just love your pink stitched flowers on the heart paper! Beautiful photo of your crabapple tree too!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Lin, and I love that you used your mother's threads to stitch it with - and your crab apple certainly provided some beautiful inspiration
