embroidery

I did some embroidered flowers and sewing to make these cards.
The top card I cut the flowers out of material. And zig-zagged them to the card.
The leaves are also cut from material. The stem is using the stem stitch in embroidery.

This is the chain stitch. And the bottom material panel is chain stitched to the card front.




The border punch is used on the card edge, and a contrasting material strip is glued to the card inside edge.

fabric and sewing




the borders are fabric strips that I sewed to the card. Used a border punch at the card edge.

May all your dreams take flight.

I like the way this butterfly turned out, I tried something different. I cut the butterfly out of watercolor paper, and zig-zagged the edges and the body. Used the fabric markers to color the rest. I sewed it to fabric and sewed the fabric to the card.
Oak leaf is cut out of felt, and blanket stitched to the fabric . A great guy card.
