Blue birthday card

We had a great time when our daughter visited us the last 2 weeks. She learned crochet and when her project for a newborn is finished I hope to share it here.

Today it’s my aunts birthday and this is the card I made for her. A great excuse to use a few TAST stitches!
Before patching the card I cross stitched 80 in stranded floss on a scrap of blue evenweave and outlined it in backstitch in a metallic thread.
Pistil stitch and French knots in cotton a broder.
Buttonholed cable chain in perle 5.
Feather stitch and French knots in perle 12.
Chevron stitch and French knots in perle 5, berry stitch in 2 colours cotton a broder.
Breton stitch in perle 12.
Beaded up and down buttonhole stitch (TAST stitch 127) in cotton a broder.
TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, an embroidery challenge at Pin Tangle.

    A lovely blue card - a perfect gift for someone who is 80. I hope we'll see that crochet project wrapped around the grandchild. Love baby photos!

    Such a beautiful card. AND thank you for the individual pictures with the stitch description and thread used. It is so helpful for us semi-beginners.

      It was fun to stitch a few older TAST stitches on my card.
