One of the things on my 'to do' list for this year was to do a bit more sewing and to try my hand at mixed media.
I've made a start and made a card using a lovely collage stamp by Stampendous ....

I then stamped the image again onto some card I had inked with various greens, cut out the bird and glued it to the main image. I embossed the bird's crown in gold.
I stitched some fabric (which has gold thread running through it) onto my kraft card base, then stitched the stamped image on top.

Very impressive Suze. Love all the different textures and fab sewing. x
Suze,
A beautiful card. The addition of the sewing really brings something to it, framing the image and also creating extra texture.
Thank you for sharing with us at FSC.

This is gorgeous Suze, love the images you have used and the colour scheme. Bet it is absolutely stunning in real life.
I have not tried stitching on a card yet, but am going away for a week with some stitchers so no doubt they will get me sewing.
Good Luck with this card - I think it is ab fab!
