For my second entry for Embellish Magazine's Challenge, I wanted to do hand stitching but was skeptical about doing a whole design free-hand. This is the first time I've ever used my flower stencils by Bazzill Basics Paper, but they worked perfectly. I punched all my holes first using my SU! mat pack, then went back with the floss. There was something so immensely satisfying that brought me back to childhood days and sewing cards. This card was just relaxation in the making!
Supplies: Kraft cardstock (by Speckletone); DMC floss, hello stamp (SU! Tiny Tags); Aqua Mist Itty Bitty designer paper, Sweet blush cardstock, Vintage Holiday Buttons Mix; (all by Papertrey Ink); Bazzill Basics Paper flower stencils; jewelry tag punch (SU!)
