Send best wishes with these pretty, versatile cards - they'll be just as delightful to stitch as to receive! From the post in the teacup to the floral archway and the blooms entwined around the birdcage, each design in this set of cards is a feast for the eyes! Ideal for birthdays, thank yous and all manner of sweet sentiments, these all-occasion stitches are packed with gorgeous details that'll be so wonderful to share with loved ones. We think these designs would be perfect for adding to your stockpile of stitchy cards. You'll blend different shades of pinks and reds to recreate the lifelike rose petals - and the backstitch in complementary colours, rather than black, will give the finished designs a delicate and refined look. Plus, you can easily personalise these sweet patterns by interchanging the backstitched messages! Once you've finished the stitching, mount in a square aperture card, like ours, in a perfectly matching shade. Or, you could frame your finished piece in a small embroidery hoop and gift to someone special.
