From time to time I use some of our forgotten techniques.
This time I used the FONTANA technique by Nellie Snellen from 2005.
It's a cutting by hand, paper piercing and embroidery technique by using a Fontana stencil.
For this card I used the FM005 on the dotted Vellum and embroidered with thread with colors varying from pink to purple.
I attached the fussy cut flower in the frame on the second layer of vellum.
For further embellishments I used golden corners, lines and dots stickers.
