The Rose

 

Today I'm joining Halle of Halle's Hobbies at Art Journal Journey with her Botanicals theme.

I call this The Rose.  Details are below.


I began by cutting a sheet of green cardstock to 5.5 X 8.5 in. (13.97 X 21.59 cm.).  I used a Ranger stencil called LetterIt (a recent gift) and green pigment ink to cover the background. 
 
Next, I sewed around the outside and the rose using gold/red/black variegated thread.  Finally, I added the three Fleur de Lis.  As you can tell, I still can't sew a straight line no matter how hard I try.
 
Thanks beyond belief for your visit today.  I appreciate you stopping by.  I hope to see you and your own interpretation of Botanicals at Art Journal Journey.

    Beautiful page, I like the colors (and the sewn border, because of which Ingo bought me the Singer...).

    The rose image with the background and stitched border is very pretty. I think it's especially special that it's not acorat; it has something special about it! hugs Elke

    So pretty. I love that you used fluer-de-lis along the side. And of course the stitching.

    You are not on your own at not being able to sew in a straight line, but does it matter? Love the idea of the fleur de lis married with the floral picture which I note has an address in France below the rose. Great thinking.
