This is the commissioned card I was asked to make at the end of July, the twins were not born then but I made it as far I could, then my customer fell off the face of the earth so to speak.
A week ago I re-listed on etsy to see if I could sell it, one week later my customer was back and still wanting the card, It is now finished and winging its way across the pond, So now I can show you.
Gosh its been a long time since I put a card on my blog, its embroidered with pink, blue and gold metallic thread, I use the outlines for the cradles from a peel off sheet, and then stitched them on some oil based card that shines different colours in the light.
Placed them on a rainbow paper and then stitched around the outside with gold metallic thread.
The card is an 8 by 8 square, scalloped edged.
There are hours of work in this card, I was so upset with all the work I put in and then thought it was not going to sell.
Oh well all ends well in the end.
I hope she likes it when it arrives.
Have a nice weekend and take care
Hugs
Margaret

Lovely card Margaret. As one card stitcher to another I don't think people quite realise how long it takes to do the stitching and then you have to present it in keeping with the theme. I am so glad your customer came back.
