Flowers

I used Ann's Paper Art Pattern No a336 for this one, sometimes i think the pattern doesn't need anything else added to it as it is perfect just the way it is, i really do enjoy doing the embroidery on it's own, i think the simplicity of the design is so lovely it speaks for itself.

Lilac Flowers

I stitched this one in Lilac and Green threads, something i wouldn't normally do, but i really like the way it has turned out, i have used Ann's Paper Art pattern No a231, i punched some butterflys from gingham glitter card and backed the flower pot in the same card, i added a few gems to finish.

90th Birthday Card

I made this card for a friends Mum's 90th birthday, i used Ann's pattern No a609, i think this is a very beautiful pattern and it was perfect for what i wanted to do, i have backed it with some red and gold silk hand made papers and cut the flowers from the same papers, this is my first easel card, it's turned out better than i could have hoped for.

Black and Silver

I thought i would try something different, so i bought this new book Kleurrijk borduren op papier By Erica Fortgens and i love it, i have stitched the pattern onto ColorCore Cardstock, the whitewash collection, i used black and silver thread and silver beads, i also added black and silver ribbon and a few silver gems, i'm really pleased how it has turned out and want to buy more ColorCore card stock because i like the affect that it has with the embroidery.

I really enjoyed stitching this pattern  it is a quick and easy one to stitch, it is Anns paper art pattern No a604, i decided to stitch it in different shades of pink and am very pleased with the result.

This one was stitched using Ann's June Forum Pattern, i shaded it in with pencils and used some hand made papers, i mounted it onto blue glitter paper and used a XCut corner punch, then mounted it onto white card, i am really pleased with the result.

Forever Friends

This is another of Ann's Forum Patterns, i decided to use the Forever Friends decoupage on this one as it's Fathers Day very soon, but i may give it to my Uncle for his birthday later this month as my Dad passed away when i was 12.

40th Birthday Card

I decided to stitch this one again for my cousins husbands 40th birthday, this time i mounted it onto white card.

Nephews 18th Birthday Card

This card was made using a pattern from Pricknstitch South Africa, i was really suprised  at how easy it was to stitch, i finished it in an hour, i decided to stitch it in gold on black card, i mounted it onto gold mirror card and then onto black card.

Birthday card

I decided that i would have a go at stitching this beautiful pattern with the beads, the pattern No is ED004 from Emelies Design, i used these lovely corner punches from X Cut and mounted it onto  purple and silver glitter paper then onto a white card, i am really pleased with the result.
