Embroidered Hearts

moxie fab world has another awesome challenge going on right now "let's have some fun with floss." be sure to check out the gorgeous samples on the site. i love embroidery floss; been using it since i was a kid. here's my card: i traced 5 hearts on cardstock lightly in pencil, then punched holes with the paper piercer. i erased the pencil lines, then stitched the hearts using 6 ply thread. it took some time and my fingers were so sore because i had a tough time getting the needle through the holes! i added a strip of ribbon and a button with red thread through it. the rub on is jenni bowlin "old school alpha minis."

thanks for looking!

Working with floss does give sore fingers but stunning results, love the colors on this card.
