Stamped the violets and leaves in Pure Poppy onto Berry Sorbet cardstock and pulled out my embroidery floss to tie a few french knots onto the flower centers.
Love the texture the french knots add!
Fillable Frames #1 and the matching die are a must have (IMO), the possibles with them are endless. I die cut the frame from White cardstock, stamped it and the sentiment in Pure Poppy. Stamped an additional violet into the frame, in Berry Sorbet, then embellished with french knots and a ribbon tab.Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed!

ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the reverse side when you embroider the french knots? Would like to see the inside of your card. The card is very pretty and I like to embroider so this can satisfy two cravings at the same time. Thanks
