For this card I used the same paper piecing technique I used on my previous one. I used red scraps which I cut into strips this time. I added a stitched collage strip layered onto an orange one over the background and added three eyelets at the top to help keep it in place and add some interest. I mounted this large element to my red card front. For my focal element I used a leaf image (
CLKER) which I watercoloured. After it was dry I ran my pattern tracing wheel on all four edges. I layered it onto a dark maroon piece of cardstock leaving more space on the right hand side. I used a border punch to trim the edge and then added one embossed line which I created using my score tool. I embellished the border by hand stitching with yellow heavyweight thread in and out of the holes in the border. It was fun to take a bit of a break and sit with small project. I mounted this focal element to my card using 3D foam tape. Therese
NOTE: I just realized that I forgot to stamp stitching on this one!!! OOPS!
