Hello, crafty friends! I am so thrilled and honored to be joining My Favorite Things and their MFT & Friends feature for the September 2018 release. This is such a great way to see different and inspiring takes on all of the fun new products. I can't wait to see what everyone has created!
Anyone familiar with my work knows that I love flowers, so it was no surprise that I was immediately drawn to the new Wildflowers stamp set. This set contains a great array of pretty floral images, so I knew I wanted to create a bright and colorful stitched garden scene.
I started out my stamping out my garden, masking the images as I went along. I then did some Distress Ink blending in Twisted Citron and Tumbled Glass to create my background. I cut out my panel using my (favorite and most-used dies of all time) A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax.
I then colored my images with bright and colorful Copic markers, creating a rainbow of pretty blooms.
I then poked holes around the images and stitched the outlines with coordinating thread colors. I love the bold and graphic nature of these flowers because they are PERFECT for stitching!
I hope you enjoyed this card! Be sure to stop by the MFT Stamps Blog for tons of inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteLeigh, do you just eyeball it when you are poking holes to do stitching? They look so evenly spaced.

DeleteI just eyeball it... go slow at first and it will start going faster as you move along. :)
