Stitched Paper
"Sweet Valentine" Card
​Workshop

Don’t throw those holiday candy wrappers away!
​Repurpose them into a Sweet Valentine for someone you love. 
  • To get you started, I’ll share a couple quick and easy techniques for painting a watercolor background on a 4 inch x 6 inch card of mixed media paper.
  • Then you'll embellish the paper with stitches of embroidery thread and add various sizes of cut out heart shapes wrapped with foil wrappers.
  • Use traditional pinks and reds or go bold and try something a little different - orange & turquoise, green & purple?
  • To finish, the paper will be glued to a 5 inch x 7 inch card.
  • Each participant will have materials to complete 2 cards, envelopes included.
No experience necessary. All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own foil candy wrappers if you like.
