Spellbinders small die of the month April - Stitched Thanks

 Hello friends!

It's time to share my makes with this months small die set from Spellbinders.

It's an awesome set if you like stitching. 

I do like stitching very much so I made two cards this month to share with you.

The first is made using black cardstock and bright colors of embroidery threads.

I used DMC embroidery floss.

The thanks letters are die cut from black glitter paper and behind it 

I glued blue mirrowed cardstock. This give an awesome effect.

 

The second card is made in soft sage green and pink colors.

This die set will give you hours of relaxing stitching time.

catch the bug: give thanks

qkr stampede: give thanks

dl art: -thankful thursday challenge

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Usually I color my images in photoshop, sometimes with watercolor pencils or distress markers.
I also do some watercoloring. I didn't have any alcohol markers until this past week. I purchased a set of 72
spectrum noir markers (copics are just to expensive for me, sadly).
I followed all kinds of tutorials on you tube and practice on a few digital images. It isn't easy, I must admit.
I'll be learning by doing it.
My first spectrum noir colored image is on this card. It's a digital image from Birdie Brown.

The paper and thanks stamp are from Stampin'up!
I thought it was funny that the bear would lose some of the apples he was carrying.
The sentiment is stamped with Versamark and heat embossed using seafoam white embossing powder.

For the layout I used this weeks sketch at case this sketch

Hi, nice of you to drop by!

I used this inspirational photo from paper smooches  for my next card.

The colors were my inspiration.

The bird image is a freebie from Paper Smooches.
I did'nt use any patterned paper just cardstock and cardboard.
The stamps are from a previous card kit from Simon says Stamp.

I'm entering this CAS card in these challenges:

Have a nice day.

Hugs Henriëtte.
