So, I was asked to be a Guest Designer at Creaine for October and I was thrilled to be offered the chance and excited to try something new!! This challenge is to Embroider on your card. I have never tried Embroidery, so this was definitely a challenge and I was really excited to try something new!! Here is what I came up with:
On this card I used Squirrel from Bugaboo Stamps and colored this image with my Copic Markers. I did a bit of layering on this image and added some Diamond Glaze to the nut. I actually purchased this embroidery pattern from someone on Etsy. It is a maple leaf with the wind pattern behind it. The wind is done in a very light blue that is shiny. The leaf is done in a thread that is red, brown and orange. I thought it was perfect for the leaf! I added a bit of ribbon at the top with that hand done bow. I stamped the "Wishing you a harvest of good things!" on the front also. The edges of the kraft are all inked with Sepia. On the inside I also inked the edges and used a nut stamp on one side and a little squirrl on the other only partially stamping those. Then I stamped "...from one nut to another!" on the inside as well.
Thank you Creaine, for the invite to be your Guest Designer. I am truly honored!! Thank you for such a great challenge! It was more simple than I thought it would be, but time consuming. The overall effect is so beautiful though! It is worth the time!! :)
