Blackwork Sampler

Besides card making and scrapbooking, I enjoy various forms of needlework. This past year I finally finished this Blackwork sampler.  The pattern was part of an on-line Stitch-A-Long from Peppermint Purple in 2020. I started this piece in August of 2021, and completed it in January 2025.  I'll admit, I set it aside for about 3 years because I got a bit frustrated when I mis-counted and needed to remove 2 rows.  I finally decided it needed to be finished and got it out again. Now it just needs to be framed!

I'm Stuck on You

Its been a while since I posted!  Figured it was time to get in the habit again.  This card is one that I made for my husband for Valentines Day.

I used the following for the card: 

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 7, Stuck On You stamp set, Black Onyx Ink
• Copic Markers - Various Colors

To make the card, I cut white card stock with the stitched die from Master Layouts 7.  The images were stamped with Black Onyx Ink, and then colored using Copic Markers. The sentiment was stamped in the corner. I picked out a color for the mat that worked with the colored images, and cut that using Master Layouts 7.  The mat was added to the card base, followed by the image panel to complete the card.
