Embroidered Postcard

I had tried my hand at embroidering paper earlier here. I  quite enjoyed it and decided to make more and use them as post cards, following the same technique as earlier, but used chain stitches this time around...


The chain stitch for the stems and some patterned paper for the flowers and I had summer in a post card!
I cut out a piece of plain cardboard and stitched the edges. Now all I need to do is pick an address from Postcrossing and mail it! I am sure it will look great on my wall of Sent Postcards!

Love,
Aps

Keep calm..

Just a little something I did today.. Embroidery on handmade paper. I chose - Keep calm and write on.

I printed my pattern and transferred it to my paper using a carbon sheet.
I then pokes holes on the pattern so it would me during the embroidery. I used a tack pin to do this.
Now I just embroidered on the words.. Here is how it looks -
And I liked what I was looking at! I am now thinking of converting it into a postcard.. Just glue it on to a piece of cardboard and I have my card ready!

Cheers,
Aps
