Take traditional blackwork embroidery technique, mix it up with a splash of modern colour and stitch this fun bookmark designed by Lesley Teare.
There’s no better way to send a special greeting than with a hand-stitched card, and this fabulous pair of greetings is great to have on hand. It will definitely become one of your trusted go-to’s, with its cheerful and charming designs!
Each card features a colourful ‘pocket’, filled with little treasures to appeal to your recipient, a cute character – as well as a greeting, of course.
Not only are these designs a joy to receive, but they’re fun to stitch, too.
To create them you’ll use lovely thread shades and almost all simple stitches, with a scattering of fractionals to add detail.
There are smaller motifs within some of the designs that will also work well as gift tags, so we’re certain you’ll come back to them time and again!
