On a roll

This morning I remained inspired to make another embroidered card.

So, although, it's not a tutorial - I have included a few photos of the process.

• Firstly, I drew (faintly) a simple cloud design onto the brown pre-made card (Paperchase).  

• As you can see from the far left cloud, below, I started with the full bouncy look but then made the bottom of the cloud flat on reflexion.  

• I then poked holes into the card with the needle I inteded to use for the embroidery so that it would be an appropriately sized hole.  Then I rubbed out the pencil marks. 

I don't know what the stitch I used is called- I just went in one hole and went back on myself...

...until I completed them all.

• Lastly, free-hand, I sewed on some drops of rain. Just two vertical holes and a daisy? stitch.

Voila!

I would have liked to edge one of the clouds with a silver thread but I only have gold.....'every cloud has a gold lining' hasn't quite got the same ring.
