🌸 Hand-Stitched Flowers on a Card | Tropical Summer | Mintay Papers Week 13

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Welcome back to another project for the Mintay Papers Challenge!
Today I'm sharing my project for Week 13 – Stitching — and this week's theme gave me the perfect excuse to add some beautiful handmade stitched flowers to a card! 🧵🌸

For this project, I created a shaped handmade card using the Tattered Lace “Harmony Foundation” cutting die set and the gorgeous 'Tropical Summer' collection from Mintay Papers. To incorporate the Stitching theme, I created five hand-stitched flowers with beautiful light pink petals. 

I chose the colours to coordinate with the layers of the card and the elements from the 'Tropical Summer' collection. The combination of light pink and teal creates a fresh, summery look, while the stitched flowers add a lovely handmade texture and a little extra dimension to the design. 

I love how the stitching becomes part of the decoration rather than simply being an additional technique—the flowers really help tie the whole card together. 

If you enjoy Mintay Papers, shaped cards, handmade flowers, stitching techniques, paper crafting and cardmaking tutorials, I hope this project inspires you to try adding some stitching to your own handmade cards.
