Sewn Together Challenge #11

Make a project using Stitching- It doesn't have to be real, you can use fake, draw, piercing, templates- anything. Finally something to go with Sew Many Cards (thanks to Donna for suggesting it).
The first stitches I did was the yellow flowers. I used a Bazzill stitches pattern (my only Bazzill item - I hear the cardstock is great but I wouldn't know since I have never seen any locally). I chose DCWV glitter cardstock, poked the holes, then used 4 strands of yellow embroidery floss to sew the pattern. Then I took the image of Halen with Hat. Colored the body with colored pencils over a piece of texture card stock to give it a fabric look. Used my AtYou Specia glitter markers on the hat and beads. Then I mounted Halen on yellow DCWV cardstock and used 3 strands of blue embroidery floss to whip a blanket stitch around the circle.

You need to check out the Freebie Friday image every week HERE or else you'll have to visit the Sew Many Cards Store HERE later to get it. Don't forget that if you spend $10 at the Sewn Together store, you get the entire Winter Bonus Pack FREE. If you join us at the Sewn Together ning group, you might find more free images. Thanks for looking at my card and don't forget to see what everyone else made at Sew Many Cards.
