Start Some Creative Fusion with Stamping, Inking, Stitching and Beading
Introducing our version of mixed media combining the simple art of stamping with the fun art of embroidery. Along the way we added some creative texture and embellishments. Start with a soft wash of alcohol inks to set the mood and finish with pops of shiny glass beads.
You will be surprised at how a few easy stitches can turn your stash of stamps into lovely, textural pieces of art.

Satin Stitch
A versatile stitch to fill large areas. Try to keep the floss as smooth as possible as you secure it in place.
Fly Stitch
Beautiful stitch to create leaves and more.
Fishbone Stitch
Another beautiful stitch to fill in large areas.
Basket Stitch
Note that the needle is inserted vertically straight when it goes behind the fabric.
Long and Short Stitch
Nice way to blend colors.
