Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge







The Papertrey March Blog Hop focuses on embroidery floss this month.  I attempted (and this is a first attempt) to make french knots where the berries would go in this fabulous wreath! 

I gained a new respect for all the embroidery that my mother does when I was fighting with those little knots!


I went clean and simple for this one.  I didn't have much time this afternoon!  I only used three layers on this number and I'll definitely be trying this again soon! 

I have to tend to my sick little on now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Details - Stamps: A Wreath for All Seasons (PTI); Paper: Confetti White, Cherry Cobbler; Ink: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler; Accessories: embroidery thread, needle, stampin' dimensionals.

    tonight was my first time for french knots as well - I think they might become addicting :)

    Love the clean, crisp look of your card and how you stamped the sentiment in the two ink colors. TFS!

    Love your card. I did something very similar. That wreath just cried out for French knots! Hope little one is feeling better soon.

    A very pretty holiday card. I like the French knots on this as it gives the image some depth. TFS!

    One week later and I'm still hopping. French knots and that wreath are meant for each other. I understand your frustration with the knots; that's my least favorite stitch.
