I haven't created many stitched cards recently, so it was a delight to create one again. When it was done, I took a couple of light blue pearls from my stash and placed them onto the embriodery. To match the embellishments, I added a layer of light blue background paper. 
The card base I used is smaller than a regular one, meaning rather than a classic Christmas/winter card my creation is meant as a little note towards a present. Before I could think of anything in particular, my friend called me up from night shift, so I headed out yesterda evening for a quick coffee in the hospital basement. The little snowflake turned out to be the perfect something to slip in a doctor's pocket alongside with the best wishes for the upcoming year.
For more snowflake inspirations, make sure to check out the rest of the DT project once the challenge goes online. Also, you might enjoy some early snowflake photographies by Wilson Bentley which I stumbled upon recently in a Seznam.cz article. Those "ice flowers" certainly are tiny miracles of beauty!

ReplyDeleteČudovito si "napikala" snežinko in jo zelo lepo in nežno okrasila s polperlicami. Hvala, ker z njo sodeluješ na bleščečem izzivu v Veseli hiški. Sonja, DT
ReplyDeleteooo, wau. ta pa je res zelo lepa. Čudovito si popeljala vrvico skozi papir. Lepo, da si nas obiskala v Veseli hiški. Pozdrav Janja DT
ReplyDeleteUau, ta je pa res nekaj posebnega. Obožujem te našite voščilnice, a si resnično premalokrat vzamem čas zanje. Bo treba to spremeniti.
ReplyDeleteHvala, da si se pridružila našemu izzivu v Veseli hiški.

Thank you for entering our DT call over at Creative Moments. I am just wanting to ensure that you meant to do this, as it looks from your post that this may have been accidental?
ReplyDeleteHugz Tinz
Ooops, that's indeed an accidental DT application. I meant to link my card to the challenge and seem to have scrolled the wrong way. I'm not entering your DT call, so I'm kindly asking you delete my entry. Thanks a lot.
DeleteHugs, Veronika
Oh my gosh... love our stitching work! Great card!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with us at our previous challenge at Creative Crafting Uncles and good luck. Hope you will join us in our present challenge again.
