Peace stitched cards


I showed you how to stitch on cards on my last post and
thought I would show another one.
This time a peace sign. 


The difference on this one is you will stitch
x's over and over till you reach the end. 


Once I finished stitching I decided to add the stamped
"peace" onto the card.  You could leave your image
blank or add a word to the card.


Now,  let's get this started
You will need;
cardstock
embroidery thread
needle
a piercing tool
a mat
pencil
circle framelits



Start with your cardstock, pencil and circle framelits
take the two smallest circles and trace them onto
the cardstock
For the center of the peace sign use your pencil
to draw the peace sign
(see photo below)


Hand draw the middle section of the peace 
sign as you see below.


Once you have it all traced,
begin piercing the holes all the way around 
and down the middle 


As you see here


Thread your needle and begin to make your x's til
you complete the circle and center. 
Tie it off at the back to compete and secure the thread.


Here is what it will look like as you work on it.
And below all complete with the stamped
"peace" image.
