Our "Topping" option this time is...
If you are not into using the toppings, just make sure it is a birthday card.
We all take turns deciding what the topping will be for a challenge. It is my turn for this one and I chose Stitching. Make it real or faux. Not a problem.
Here is my card
I die cut it from some heavy cardstock and then did the stitching. I was not intending to stitch all of it, but that is how it worked out. You see, I took it with me on a little trip and I could sit and stitch while I visited with family. That is the reality of how easy it was.
Seriously!
Then, I simply adhered it to a card base from Gina K Designs Coral Reef. Added a few pearls from my stash. I die cut the sentiment three times and glued them together as this card has lots of definition. Honey Bee Buzzwords is the die I used.

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning Barbara! I haven't ever seen this die and I love the way you stitched the flowers and leaves in coloured silks. It would have been a pretty card as it was, but then you decided to give it that wonderful deep coral background and it became a total showstopper!! Vicky x
