Whilst making a birthday card for my crafting friend Shaz whose birthday is on Saturday, I constructed it in such a way as to fit with two of this week's challenges: Papertake Weekly is A Stitch in Time (to use stitching on the card), and Arty Girlz Challenge #49 is Summer - so here we see hedgy relaxing in a deckchair in the middle of a summer garden full of flowers!
I used: main image and sentiments by Penny Black - image coloured with watercolour pencils and Twinkling H2O's with the daisy decoupaged; papers by Melissa Frances; flower by Prima; pearl brad and gemstones by Papermania. Iridescent card panel is embossed with my Cuttlebug.

Doesn't stitching make a beautiful frame. Do you stitch the frame before or after you create the image? I am intrigued because I keep changing my mind over which works best. If I do my image first I can spoil lots of hard work with a wonky frame and vice versa. What's your technique?
Pauline, this is really so pretty, I love everything about it.
Sue no 2!!!
What a pretty card. Wish the weather was nice enough to be sitting in a deckchair relaxing, like Hedgy!
Very cute! I wish it was me sitting in that chair, though! LOL!
