I visit some pretty special women every month and realized it was time to make them each an Easter card. This is my first of the four I need for this year. I have some family ones still to make too, so you'll see a few more.
And, once again I'm using Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments. I hope you aren't getting tired of my using the same paper again, but trust me when I tell you I have so much of it in scraps after making the kits for classes. I can't throw it away! So, I have to use it, even though I'm itching to use my new 12 x 12 Botanical Tea paper!
I've often seen this stitching done in some gorgeous layouts, as you see here on the card, when Martha Stewart's "Cherished" punch was used. I so like that look and have it on my list of things to try. I thought I should try small first, so this card was the perfect opportunity!
First, I inked the edges of all the paper pieces with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone, then I did the stitching on that one edge punched piece. Even though it took time, and I stitch quickly too, I'll do it again.
You notice the small 3 1/4" pink frame I created from the frame on the 12 x 12 feature page "Sweet Sentiments". It just took 2 corners and then over-lapping the other two corners with just the corner pieces. I hand cut around the outside and inside of the frame before piecing it and inking it.
Let's look at the card laying flat from different angles.
I forgot to mention that the flowers used on this card are from Kaisercraft, with the exception of the white flower at the bottom left corner, of which I don't remember where it came from. So, I hope you enjoyed this card.
Happy Papercrafting!
