Here's my design for today
Today we have the faux cross stitch effect. I've dry embossed the stencil first using my Cuttlebug. Remember to spritz the card with some surgical spirit for for a crisper, deeper effect. Now replace the stencil & the one I've used is LL589 Musical Christmas & add some colour. I've used a selection of Brilliance pearlescent pads. When you're happy with your design place the Dreamweaver cross stitch screen over the top & gradually add some darker over the entire area until you're satisfied with the effect. I've mounted onto dark green card & mounted onto a 8cm x 15 cm red folded card. I've added some Christmas green gingham ribbon, Icing Sugar Candis & the words are from peel off 92730 MC & HNY.
