Cardmaking - embossed & stitched handmade paper pieces with embossed vellum and fussy cut heart with a bow

As a new month starts there are always special occasions that deserve to be celebrated!!! 

I started with a white card, tore the lavender handmade paper ( my own) into four pieces, embossed them with two different embossing folders and then stitched the edges with white thread.  I tied the thread ends on the back and then adhered them to my card front.  I embossed a piece of vellum (SU) which I adhered to the front of my card with double sided tape.  I watercoloured the heart  (Melonheadz) and then added gold glitter pen to the dots on the bow.  Fussy cut it and adhered it to the vellum with double sided tape.  

Good to be cardmaking again after a fairly busy summer with camping, company and canning.    Therese
