Liz informed the CCEE Stampers that February is National Embroidery Month. Her appropriate challenge was to make use of stitching, faux stitching, cross-stitching, or any other embroidery stitching you might want to feature on your card. For many years, my hobby-of-choice was doing counted cross-stitch. I haven't done it in a while, but I still have lots of embroidery thread in a container in my closet. And I'm sure I've got some unfinished projects in there as well.
Cottage Cutz has a set of cross-stitch bordered dies, so I pulled out the oval ones to use on my card today. After cutting out the oval, I used a blue pen to emphasize the stitching around the edge. I didn't have a stamp specific to embroidery, but at least she's sewing! And I've even included an example of one of my counted cross-stitch pieces in the photo. I think I did that one about 25 years ago.
Be sure to visit the CCEE Stampers blog for some more examples of embroidery-related cards.

Wow, that's a pretty cool collection on the National Wedding month. The concept looks awesome and unique at the same time it is impressive too.
