Stitching Cut File 30 of 36: Flower Wreath

The 30th of the 36 Cut Files for Stitching is a Flower Wreath!

Design Team Member Audrey Mutschall created this fantastic page! She says, "For this layout I chose embroidery floss in shades of pink, orange, blue, and yellow to coordinate with the beautiful Garden Shoppe collection. Each flower is stitched in a different color using a chain link stitch - my favorite stitch for adding lots of texture and dimension! With the stitching complete, I added a white button to the center of each flower and stitched it on using green embroidery floss. I added a few watercolor paint splatters to the center of the page and then spent some time fussy cutting flowers and leaves from Paper 2. I layered these into a circular cluster and placed my photo on top. To embellish the corner of the page, I cut a square of Paper 20 and backed it with Paper 1 then flipped one corner over and held it down with a cross stitch of embroidery floss. I made two of these double-sided squares and placed them on opposite corners of the page then added a few fussy cut flowers underneath. Lastly, I added a tag from theEphemera Die Cuts which serves as my title. I hope this layout inspires you to spend some time stitching this gorgeous flower wreath cut file! It’s always so rewarding to see a stitching layout take shape!"

Here is another layout made with today's Flower Wreath from the 36 Cut Files for Stitching by Guest Designer Chrissy Tingey! She says, "I stitched the Flower Wreath with three colors of thread to coordinate with the floral elements which were fussy cut from Splendid papers. I also stamped some flowers from the Acrylic Stamps onto white cardstock and fussy cut them out to become die cuts. I’ve added stitched circles to the center of the wreath where I added my photo and arranged all the fussy cut elements. The wreaths make a beautiful circle frame for my layout!"

Here is one more layout made with today's Flower Wreath from the 36 Cut Files for Stitching by Guest Designer Denise Holmes! She says, "I started by stitching the Flower Wreath with colored threads as close to the photos and paper I used for the background (Garden Shoppe Paper 3). When I had finished stitching I flicked some shimmery watercolors around the background. The photos show my granddaughters trying to do the flamenco dance, they were mesmerised. To embellish I used the 8-Page Sticker Book, Thickers , and Enamel Button Stickers."
