Mother's Day Card Tutorial


Mother's Day is fast approaching, so I have an easy peasy tutorial that you can whip up for mom...
An embroidered mother's day card:



Materials Needed
Blank Card and Envelope
Tracing Paper
Pencil
Embroidery Thread
Needle
Scissors
Cardstock and Glue (Optional)


Trace the following image with tracing paper:



And apply it to a blank notecard. Then stitch along the lines with embroidery thread.



When you are finished, you can adhere another card or piece of cardstock to the inside of the card cover to hide the backside of the stitches.
