Homespun Card

Hello!

Just popping in to wish you a Happy New Year!  I hope you have been enjoying the festive celebrations and are looking forward to a fabulous 2016 ahead :)

I have made a card to play along with Less Is More's homespun theme:


 

I used a new background from My Favourite Things to create the look of fabric on cream cardstock and some stitched stamps to create the border.  The flowers and cross stitches are from a set by Lil Inkers and I watercoloured them using my Zig Watercolours.  I have inked around the edge to emphasise the vintage, homespun look.

I hope you like my last card of 2015!

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and your kind comments - they make my day :)

    Happy New Year to you Sarah. The background stamp and stitching really add to the homespun look of your delicate flowers.

    I'm sorry that I'm so late in commenting but having various visitors over the holiday period made me rather behind!
    This has such a nostalgic feel Sarah, I love the stitching and it's perfect for our homespun challenge!
    Thanks so much
