If you follow me here or on Instagram, you already know that earlier this year I picked up a new hobby, hand embroidery. Up until now, I was purchasing patterns online created by other artists but as soon as I received the Right at Home Fall Leaves stamp set, I knew I wanted to use it to create an embroidery project!
After doing a quick test of my design on paper, I stamped directly on fabric (a natural linen) with regular Versa ink. Here is a look, in the hoop, before the stitching began:

It took me quite a while to pick colors and types of stitches but once the decisions were made I didn't stop until I was done and I LOVE the result!
Who knew you could make pretty embroidered wall art with stamps?! It was a first for me and it definitely won't be the last time I use this technique!
If you're inspired to make your own and would like more details on the type of stitches or colors, or you're just in need of help, I will be happy to respond to your questions in the comments.
To all my American readers, I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am very thankful for you, loyal followers and commenters, in the US and everywhere else!
That's beautiful! The stamping worked out a treat, didn't it?
