F4A817 - Baker's Twine or Embroidery Floss
I finally used up the bundle of brown embroidery floss that had been hanging on the back of my craft chair, gifted by my MIL from a friend’s stash-clearing spree, and I’m so glad it found its purpose on this card.
For the design, I die cut the panel using a Spellbinders die and stitched it with the brown variegated floss. It’s layered onto coordinating brown cardstock, and I finished it off with a birthday banner popped up on dimensionals.
I think this makes a great masculine card, and I’m genuinely thrilled to have that floss off my chair and onto something meaningful!
Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments. If you leave me a comment, I can stop by your blog for a visit.
Challenges:
As You Like It - Ribbon/Twine and Why - I like both ribbon and twine. With Twine, I can stitch cards like this one and with Ribbon, I can use it for tiny bows.
