April 2014 PTI blog hop

This month the challenge for the PTI hop is to use embroidery as your inspiration.

Here's what I've come up with: 

I broke into the Smile set- inked the leaves twice & cut it with a Spellbinder die to mimic the look of the hoop.

I tried doing it on smokey shadow first- but I don't have any embossing powder (in these colors) that shows well on dark cardstock. May need to remedy that at some point! ;)

Versamark & clear embossing for the centers.

Core'dinations paper (from the MME stack) & May Arts kraft Baker's twine. *love*

A little chai distressing around the edges.

Here's the image that inspired me:

Happy Hopping!
