Papertrey Ink showcased some works of art by Izziyana Suhaimi, who merges the art of embroidery with paper, to be inspired by for the Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge. I kinda went a different route and didn't use a stitch of thread-because my supply consists of white and black, but was inspired none the less.
I started by embossing various blooms and leaves from In Bloom with primary colored embossing powder onto white cardstock, then filled in some areas with shades of gray. I fussy cut and mounted the flowers onto a black cardstock panel (impressed with the Linen & Canvas Impression Plate) and white embossed a stamped sentiment from Lovely Layers, this panel was then mounted to a white card base.
Even though there is no stitching, I feel like I was still able to capture the uniqueness in the artist's original work. We are all inspired differently, eh?
