Needle & Thread - stepped up

Hello, here are the details for our final C & C project this week using a stamp set called Needle & Thread.

I think the Needlepoint Nook Suite is one of my favourites from the new catalogue - I have used is a lot as it is just so very versatile.

The die cut leaves look rather strange but that is because the large flower fits perfectly in the middle.

For this project we also stamped the trio of flowers and some extra die cuts from Night of Navy card.

My crafty ladies had a lot of fun this week arranging (and rearranging) their pieces before adhering to their stitched rectangle panel!

We added tiny jewels to the centre of the smaller flowers.  We also used a stamp from Butterfly Gala for the body of the tiny butterfly and Butterfly Duet Punch - if you don't have the punch, the butterfly would be easy to fussy cut.

On Tuesday, one of my Team Members (Sue) came up with the brilliant idea to use one of the waste pieces from the die cuts for the centre of the butterfly.  Why did I not think of that?  Thanks Sue!

The lovely Needlepoint Nook DSP contains photographic imagery of hand stitched embroidery; with rich colours and beautiful details these papers don't need much to make a stunning project.  I'm already on to my second pack of DSP!

The envelope (and the inside) is stamped to coordinate.

Here is the completed card and envelope.

Thanks to everyone who joined me this week for some crafty fun.  Next week we will be using items from the Happiness Blooms Suite.

Look what one of my crafty friends did with one of the framelits.

How clever is that and, so clever - I'm afraid I don't have the skill or the patience to do this!

I'm back again at the weekend as I am taking part in not one but two hops!

Hope you have a crafty weekend!
