Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop

The inspiration for Papertrey Ink's March Blog Hop is amazing!  I love the idea of stitching on paper.  I received my March order in time to use Erin's new Folk Flower Die.  Love this little flower so much.  I hope Erin keeps these beautiful dies coming!

Here's one of the inspiration photos.  Isn't it gorgeous?


And here's what I created:


I used Smokey Shadow for my background and cardstock pieces cut from the Folk Flower Die.  This was such fun to work on!  I already have some more cards started with different colors and backgrounds.  I'll post them here in a few days as I finish them.


I use DMC Perle Cotton size 5 for my stitching.  I like it for all my stitching on felt (and now paper!) rather than embroidery floss.  I have also used it for needlepoint.  It has a little more texture because of the twist on it, so your stitching shows up better!

Thanks for coming by to take a look!
