I wanted to publish this yesterday and wish everyone a Happy Valentine´s day but I had internet problems and couldn´t publish my post. With help from my technician all is ok today and I can join in with the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching.
For Valentine´s Day, I thought I would stitch something really romantic and emblematic and what could be more so than a notepaper holder? .... no? ... well maybe not, but at least my little cardboard holder looks prettier now with a few amateurishly styled ribbon roses.
The pink Mokuba ribbon was gifted to me, so making this embroidery valid for the GG SAL and I wanted to do the roses in varous shades of pink but this ribbon is very hard to find where I live and the colour choice practically non existant, so I had to use what was available and that was beige and white.
I started with doing a bit of trellis stitch using DMC thread and then ventured on with the roses.
I embroidered some tiny pink buds with floss which would have looked better done with the ribbon...too late now.
See you next week,
Sheryl

Lovely finishing idea.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to come up with a such a beautiful way to decorate a note holder. Neutral ribbon colors work perfectly!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful! The ribbon flowers are looking great:) Are those silk or satin ribbons?
ReplyDeletepopping over from Jo's GG post - lovely ribbon roses with the trellis - so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. Your notepad holder is beautiful and would have been perfect for my Blog Hop! Your ribbon roses are lovely and so much better than my first attempts on the heart I showed this week.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous finish Sheryl, you alwats have such great ideas to display your work! I think the ribbon roses are absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant, as allways. Thoses roses aren't so easy to make, very risky work I think, trellis and assembly make a perfect finish. xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is beautifull! The little roses.......... wow!
ReplyDeleteGreetings 10eke
So beautiful! I hope you keep this out all year!

ReplyDeleteSheryl, I have to say, with all honesty, that is one of the prettiest little creations I've ever seen! I absolutely love it ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteYour ribbon embroidery is beautiful, Sheryl. It looks so pretty together with the trellis pattern. I hope your Valentine's Day was filled with romance. =)
