March PTI Blog Hop

bloghoplogo

The PTY challenge came late to my mailbox again. By the time I got home I had little left to generate something creative. I tried . . . lesson learned. Don’t bother when there is no steam left! Thinking smile

welcome springThe camera didn’t even like this card! Does anyone else have trouble photographing certain greens? I have an awful time with Mello Moss and Spring Moss.

Anyway . . . the challenge was to use embroidery floss. I have a huge collection from the days of cross stitch and actual sewing, quilting mostly. Nice to use some of it.

I used A Wreath For All Seasons, Spring Moss and Berry Sorbet. Added a few French knots to the wreath and a little bling in the flowers.

Of to correct a mountain of papers! Nerd smile

Have a great weekend.

I guess you could say that great minds think alike! It also seems like our great minds work the same way under pressure. Your french knots look better than mine!

Cool ribbon treatment..your design looks like an elegant door knocker.

Wow...what a beautiful card. I love how you turned the mat stack upside down. I just might have to give that a try.

A very pretty card! Great ribbon treatment and the wreath is beautiful. Maybe when photographing this you should try a lighter background. Still, the card shown is nicely done.
