For the March Blog Hop we are challenging you to use embroidery floss in a fun and inventive way on your project. This could include stitching, wrapping it around and tying it like ribbon, braiding, accenting tags, embroidered patterns or anything else you can dream up!
And for the Make It Monday Challenge we are to add color to non-neutral cardstock.
So I ended up with a card that can qualify for both! I started out by embossing the large images side of the In Bloom impression plate on Spring Moss cardstock. I chose the smaller flower (imagine how long it would have taken to do the large one!!) and used yellow embroidery floss on the outlines. At first I was going to sponge some color on but decided that highlighting with a Copic marker worked better. The Harvest Gold layer is embossed with the other side of the impression plate. All supplies are PTI except for the ribbon from my stash.
Enjoy the Hop and thanks so much for visiting!

Sharron your flower is stunning. The shadowing and stitching give it wonderful dimension. And I love the idea of the complimentary embossing from the same plate. This is one gorgeous card.
