Topic: Paper Embroidery
ASSIGNMENT: Make a stitched card with the theme GLOBETROTTING. I chose to make my card Asian in support of Japan.
I used a collage rubber stamp on white cardstock and colored in a few areas with watercolor markers. Then I pricked out areas as I went along and stitched in with the appropriate threads.
For the medallion I stitched in red over the yellow coloring. Then I stitched heavily in the ferns with lime green. The dragonfly is stitched with irridescent violet in two tones.
I used a printed tissue, crushed and flattened, over light purple cardstock base and added the stitched panel on top.
Here is a close look at the stitching on the dragonfly. You can see I did just a few lines on each wing and then stitched sections into the body.
And off it went to its new home in England, so I guess the card itself is a globetrotter!
