It's time for the
monthly blog hop at Papertrey Ink! This month's challenge was to use embroidery floss in a fun and inventive way. I decided to create a background pattern with my embroidery floss.
I started by scoring the lines lightly with my Scor-Pal, then I notched the end of each line with scissors and wrapped the embroidery floss to form the criss cross pattern. I used the
Signature Series: Butterfly set along with the coordinating die. I also used the
Mat Stack 3 die and the
Double Ended Banners die. The sentiment that I stamped on the banner is from the
Everyday Button Bits set. I thought it went well with the butterfly. . .and it fit on the banner! :)
