Challenge Card 4 for Just Magnolia

This card today is my fourth card for the Just Magnolia Challenge, and this time it must incorporate stitching.

Ive stamped the Tilda image onto white card and coloured her with my Karisma pencils then cut her out completely. The base card is a 8"x 8" white card, and for the first layer I have used a piece of blue pearlescent card, on top of which I have stuck another Bearly Mine design papers, this I have machine stitched together, then I have stuck a pale blue embosed peice of vellum, cut back to reveal the stitching. The second layer is another of the patterns from the same cd, and this one has been mounted onto cream pearlescent card and machine stitched around the edge. The third layer is another of pale blue pearlescent card with a third design again machine stitched together and another piece of the pale blue embossed velum stuck over it. You can just see the papers under the vellum.

The stamped image has been layered up onto two pieces of punched out card, one blue and one cream, this was done with the Blossoms Nestabilitie die, and around the edge I have stamped with my Stamp Tapestry stamps a pretty edge, as the pale card didnt look right. I have stuck the stamped image onto these die cuts with silicone glue.

I have then created two flowers from my Papermania petals with silver spacers and blue pearl brads, and have attached a heart shape charm from the brad at the back, Ive punched out several leaf pieces and stuck under the flowers. To finish of I have stamped a greeting onto white card and with the blue pearlescent card punched out with the tag die, cut the white card back to reveal the blue card, and made a hole in the top and threaded a piece of organza ribbon through.
