Happy Monday! Is everyone settling into summer? It is HOT here... I am perfectly content to stay home and get some crafting done until this heat wave passes. 100 degree temps? NO thank you!
I've been meaning to share this cross stitch card I sent off to a crafty friend for a while. I wanted to create a card using a cover die as a stencil, and chose Altenew's Layered Floral Cover Die A and their awesome Cross Stitch Canvas die.
After die cutting both panels, I used the layered floral die as a stencil to create the cross stitch pattern. I colored in the sections using Copic markers.
I then chose my thread colors and went to stitching!
I'm not gonna lie... this stitching project is not for the faint of heart. This took a while. But it was well worth it. I finished it with one of my favorite sentiments from Hero Arts and some Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and card! Have a great start to your week!
As soon as I saw your card in Instagram I had to come by. Absolutely stunning, you hand stitched are always a work of art. Have a great week! ❤️

ReplyDeleteI love this and am inspired to try it! However, I was just wondering how you kept your copic markers from smudging together or bleeding under the stencil? Any advice would be great! Thank you
