The ODBD challenge this week was to use gold or silver cording, or hemp, string, twine.
I'm on a day off today, so I've just managed to get a card made before the deadline.
The faint diagonal lines on the lovely Infuse paper made me think of laid grids in crewel embroidery, so with two strands of gold floss I embroidered a cross-stitch in a lot of the diamonds, and stitched some gold beads into others. Edged it with gold EP.
The image panel was stamped on more Infuse paper, with the Flower Frame stamped with Copper and embossed with Iridescent Ice. Again it was edged with gold EP. The leaves are made from Fantasy Film, tied together with gold cord and have little beads hanging from the cording. I raided some old stash for this one.

What great work with that gold thread, I know from experience that it is difficult to work with. Your card is so very pretty! I have hoarded that Blush paper terribly!
