I have just started working on a new range of stitchery patterns. They will eventually be combined into a quilt for my daughter so I am using inspirational words as my focus.. nothing like positive thoughts to cover you as you sleep.
I have just started working on a new range of stitchery patterns. They will eventually be combined into a quilt for my daughter so I am using inspirational words as my focus.. nothing like positive thoughts to cover you as you sleep. I have been working on some handmade ACEO's. ACEO stands for Art Card Editions & Originals. They are small works of art in any media, but must measure 3.5 X 2.5 inches. ACEO's are a great way to collect original art from a variety of artists. Frame them, collect them, trade them, use them as gift card inserts, book marks, gift tags, magnets ... they are so versatile.
I have just listed these on Etsy. 
My Heart is Full and My Love
This Christmas pattern includes detailed, easy to follow instructions explaining how to transfer paint and stitch the design. A full sized pattern template is also included along with a close-up photo of the finished piece and a comprehensive requirements list. The finished design measures 11x7.5in. This versatile stitchery can either be framed or used as a panel in a quilt, bag or cushion.
The stamps used in this card are from the Penny Black transparent stamp set: the wonder... available here on my website. I just love this collection of stamps. Cute and versatile. I stamped the sentiment with Distress Ink - Peeled Paint and the little mice in the stocking with a jet black ink and then embossed it.
I coloured this image with prismacolor pencils and tombow pens and finished it all off with some kindy glitz glitter on the branch.
I really like the colours in this card - pink and green bazzil card and a matching green stitched ribbon and pink star brad.
