Hello! Since it was teachers and staff appreciation last week, I made a special card for one of the teachers. I got a bunch of the stitched dies from Papertrey Ink over the last 6 or so months... so it was time to put one in good use...
I really enjoyed the stitching... while it does take a little bit of extra time to cut out the different parts, then thread the different tread in the needle... the end result is really nice. I love how it looks...
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika

Oh, WOW, what a great teacher's card, Monika!!!! I love that stitched apple - it was definitely worth putting in all the time and effort to stitch it!!! And that little vellum flower and the thread - so perfect to add just that little something extra to make this another fabulous card, my friend!!!!! Love it!!
