String Art

This month it is all about strings

in the Technique Challenge

at the Club Scrap forum.

Every month I choose a technique to explore for a month.

This month I was inspired by Kay Williamson's

blog with her String Art boat

and wonderful technique explanation

at Kay's Keepsakes Blog.

 For my samples I used some of the Club Scrap

wooden stamps from a older kit called Rhapsody.

Perfect for punching holes and using some string

to make art.

For this one i used a circle of holes to embroider

some string in and out of the card and punched out some

butterflies on top.

 Here another card with a little more bling bling.

This time I used a stamp from

the Gratitude kit.

The embroidery thread I used is a lot thinner

than on the first card. It is a kind of silvery blue.

 Adding some beads to the string gives a wonderful

elegant look to the card. In the heart a brad with a gemstone.

 

This is the other corner ad the card with a kind

of spirograph way of adding my thread. I remember

doing this with a pen and some cirles when I was young.

 

Hope you give this technique a try too!

Have a creative day!
