Embossed Faux Embroidered Thinking of You Card

  Hello, Kraftie Friends!

This card was made using one stamp set (Embroidered Card Front):

I placed the background stamp in my MISTI (you can purchase it through me, if you have a qualifying CTMH order) and stamped on a cardstock panel with Wild Berry ink pad. Then, I stamped it a second time with VersaMark ink pad and sprinkled the panel with glitter embossing powder from my stash. After heat setting it with a Heat Tool, I stamped the sentiment on, adhered the panel on card and added the stitching stamp on the sides.

Challenges:

1. Freshly Made Sketches #511: A Sketch by Linda

2. WordArtWed #517-518: AGoes

3. Creations in Pink #38: AGoes in Mainly Pink
