I shared my embroidered kitten with you last week and promised you more cards with appliques as I got them made. This one today was done using the very first patterns I tried on the new data card for my sewing machine, but these are not the first samples I did.
For these, I invested in some spools of variegated embroidery threads which I used for the stems and leaves. The darker threads in the pink and yellow flowers were done by using the computerized program and changing the thread when the program stops and tells you to change thread. Very simple and those two parts of the program were done last.
No coloring, obviously, but I adhered two colors of CS together, then cut them as one piece with a stitched die from Die-namics. I used fabric glue to adhere the embroidery to that. The background dp came from the Whimsy stack by DCWV and I wrapped it one time with a narrow, green ribbon. I added one of my hand sewn bows and it was complete. I didn't want anything to take away from the shine of the embroidery.

I have a couple of posts scheduled for this week but the big day will be Friday when I'll have a total of 4 posts! All of my DT work seemed to fall on the same day this time although only one is a regular Friday post. The others were either for the 1st of the month or the 1st Friday and this month, they all came together on that day.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
