Let's celebrate!

Hello friends!
Hoping you all are enjoying your weekend!

Today I want to share a card featuring Metropolis stamp combined with cross-stitching with a summer feel on it with clouds.



Basically, I started by a white panel punching all the holes using single hole die only😊 from YNS set ( I don't own cross stitch die actually), so I can use it as a cross-stitch grid for a fun background.




Then stamped the Metropolis image onto the grid in grey ink at the bottom and clouds at the top corner later on. Then I embroidered it using wools in rainbow color to fill the colors in buildings.
Now I embroidered the rest of the blank space with white.




I outlined the image with black wool for more details.




Then I placed my sequins with seed beads to fill up the clouds in blue color.
Adhered that panel with foam dots on my card base. The sentiment is from the same set and I added some colorful stripe PP to match my design.

I just love love love the way it turned out!
