When I saw this challenge from the Penny Black Saturday challenge blog I thought it would be a great addition for the card I wanted to make for a friend of mine. I used a Paper piercing template for the design, I used the small scallop and the straight edges to make up a frame for these flowers. I stitched it using 2 strands of floss.
- Penny Black - Rose Bowl stamp, colored w/Spectrum noir Sparkle pens
- Stampin up - Paper Piercing Pack Essentials w/ 2 strands of floss for the stitching
- Gina K - Sentiment stamp
- Memory Box - Paper
I tried to get a close up picture of the sparkle the pens left behind but it still doesn't show up well. I hope the sparkle at least last until my friend receives this in the mail.
A friend that is a substitute teacher gave me that stampin up piercing set when a fellow coworker was retiring from teaching and she was getting rid of all the stuff that was in her classroom, I hope to be using more of them in the future for stitching on cards. I had never heard of them so I googled it and the few you tubes I have watched of them they just used them for piercing with no stitching, but I like the idea of using them as templates to stitch.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, and hope you have a great week ahead,
Connie

What a beautiful card! I LOVE the stitching around the edge.
The stitched frame is such a beautiful way to spotlight those vibrant flowers—so delicate and full of intention. The sparkle from the pens must be even more lovely in person, and I adore how you repurposed the piercing templates for stitching. It gives the card a thoughtful, handmade charm your friend is sure to treasure.
Simply darling!!!! I love the stitching in this card!!!
Beautiful card, dear friend!
A very pretty card made all the more special with the stitched border! Beautiful coloring too!
