I couldn't wait to start stitching some brightly colored hearts, using the Concord & 9th Sew In Love die set. My first stitched piece was finished right in time for a mother's day card.
It was a serious pain to get all the die cut holes poked out, but less than 10 minutes of work with a needle tool meant I didn't have to deal with dots flying everywhere while I was stitching.
This brightly colored DMC embroidery floss grabbed my attention the last time I was at the craft store.
I always love to see the back of stitched pieces. I have an ongoing competition with myself to try to keep the backs just as neat as the front.
I trimmed the stitched piece down right before mounting it on a square card with foam tape. It is currently in transit to my mother in law in Hawaii. She loves raspberry pink, so hopefully this makes her smile.
Supplies:
white cardstock - Neenah Solar White 110 lb
pink cardstock - Papertrey Ink Raspberry Fizz
