A Pretty Patchwork card....

 Good Afternoon,

A pretty patchwork card using a clear stamp set from Craftwork Cards.

Close Up:-

White 6"x6" Card

Brown is very much the colour this Autumn/Winter so I have used brown ink and pale turquoise to co-ordinate.

Die-cut a piece of brown card slightly smaller than the main card using a square stitched die-set. Add to the main card. I stamped out the small hexagons onto white card mixing the two ink colours and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. Leave enough room to be able to put your greetings in between as in the picture. Die-cut this stamped image again with a square stitched die, slightly smaller than the brown square. Add a cross stitched edge around this white square and attach to the main card. Stamp out two more hexagons, cut out and attach with foam to the card. Stamp buttons and crosses in some of the hexagons. Add two cross stitches to the four corners of the main card as in the picture with brown ink.

Craft Items Used:-

Square Stitched Die-Set- Tonic

Sewing Clear Stamp Set- Craftwork Cards

Brown/White Card
