Time Out Challenge #261 - Inspired by words

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #261 where we have to inspired by these words - "I'm a romantic! I live for long, dreamy walks down the craft aisle". 

And I've created this romantic card by opening the seal of my new dies from Aveccreative which I bought again almost a year back, thinking that one day I will create a stitching card using this embroidery hoop dies and finally yesterday night was that day ๐Ÿ˜.  Yay!!! 

Here is my first ever stitched card.. I hope to create more in the future ( though chances are less๐Ÿ˜œ)..

Cross Stitched Heart - Handmade Love card

To make this card, I die cut out this embroidery hoop on Kraft card stock using the dies and then I die cut out white circle smaller and made these holes using the same dies. After that, I googled the pattern for the heart and embroided this cross stitched heart with pink embroidery thread.

Once done with embroidery, I secured the back thread with foam tape and adhered it to the centre of the White card base. Then, I added striped Black & White washi tape at one side of the card stock to add interest.

Finally, I added handwritten sentiment to complete this stitched heart card.
