Forest friends card with a little faux stitching.

Today I am sharing my appliqué card, using the Forest Friends kit.

I started off by choosing the papers and embellishments that I wanted to use. The little frame is from one of the papers in the kit and I have just cut out the frame with the red.

I stamped the little bear onto watercolour paper, and used my prima watercolours to colour him in. I then but him out leaving a little white border around the image.

I have layered my papers onto the blank card using my favourite glue.

Next I have then attached my frame and the little trees to the front of the card, leaving these ones flat.

I wanted to add a little dimension to the card so I have added 3d foam to the bear and the sentiment. Making them pop from the card.

I wanted to give it the look of appliqué so using my micron pen I have drawn the stitches around each piece and the layers of paper. I one of these days I will get the sewing machine out and stitch them but for now I’m loving the faux stitching with my pen.
