Birthday Card

My Neighbour asked me to make a birthday card with an octopus, i was not sure if i could do this, but after searching through my patterns i found this one, i was not looking forward to stitching it,  it is stitched in blue and purple metalic thread, i used Ann's paper art border pattern from the new stitching book as i thought it needed something else, but i decided to stitch the stars as bubbles, i then mounted it onto blue holographic card and mounted it onto white card and added a few peel -off dots to finish.

Xmas Easel Card

This pattern is from the new book Card Embroidery with Ann's Paper Art, Christmas 2,  which i won in Ann's Forum Contest, the two new books are a must have if you love card embroidery, the books also include the decoupage which i have used on this card, i  glittered the flames on the candles also the candle wax and the centre of the flowers,  then mounted it onto gold glitter paper and then onto a xmas green pearlescent card, i added a few peel-offs and stars to finish.
