Flowers at Craft Rocket

Hello again everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Craft Rocket.  Our theme this month is Flowers.


I made this card for a friend's 50th bithday,  The chart is from a magazine and was a real pain to stitch!  It has lots of fractionals and metallic thread both of which I hate.  I love the beads in the middle of the flowers though.


I finished it by fixing it over a piece of card as recommended in the magazine which is a technique I've not used before. It was a bit fiddly so I'm not sure I'd use this method again.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Spring at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challnge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Spring.


I have made a card using a kit that came with a magazine.  With all the bright flowers on it I thought it fitted this theme perfectly.



It was easy enough to stitch up but what a pain to get it in the card blank!  I couldn't get it square so had to stick one end at a time then leave it overnight to set then stick the sides.  Because I put some wadding behind it I couldn't then get the flap on the inside to stick down so had to put it under somethig heavy!  I think in future I'd patch it onto the front.  It's for my mother-in-law's birthday so I hope she appreciates the effort!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
