Best Friend Card with Olga

I really wanted to do something unusual for this day, to use Studio Katia dies in a non-traditional way. That’s where the idea of doing some cross stitching came from. It’s a great way to add not only color, but texture as well.

I’ve chosen to use the small dotted hand circle from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES. I absolutely love this little die!

I started by preparing the stitching panel. I die cut small half circles many times on the white card stock.

In the meantime I was reflecting on what color scheme to choose. It was important to choose a palette where the colors would go nicely together.

After I finished the stitching, I adhered my panel to a light grey card base.

I added BEST sentiment die cut our of black cardstock using a die from the BEST EVER DIES.  I also added a sentiment FRIEND from the BEST EVER stamp set and embellished the card with one yellow polymer clay heart from RAINBOW HEARTS.
