Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 28 card makers took part and I sent my card to Tina in Slovenia.
This month I tried to use the colours and the options of needle and thread and plaid.
The stitching die is called sparkling mandal by spellbinders. I stitched it with lilac and marigold thread and cut it from some card that I thought was like old rose.
The plaid background is made with 2 Concord & 9th dies called plaid card front thick and thin. The sentiment is a Spellbinders pressplate and die. The insert is pearlescent paper and I cut the corner with the stitching die.
I always love stitching on cards, but don't do it myslelf very often. So I am pleased I made the effort with this one.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Gundi in Germany
Thanks Gundi, I love it.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

How beautifully done Hilary, the stitching looks amazing and love how these colors compliment each other! Now I wish I had used these colors for my Oct. CCC card.

Lovely stitches, Hilary! I love the combination of colors and am wondering if you had the floss, or did you have to go shopping for these colors?
