This one is Carols’.

This one is Emmys’.

This one is Kims'.
Since there were four for April, I took the easy way out and used the tissue paper sample I made back in January for the background. Each flower was free-motion stitched and then machine appliquéd to the background. I did a little bit of hand embroidery on Emmys’ flower before it was appliquéd down.
*note* Terri asked if I applied a wax over the paper surface. I applied a very thin coat of Dorlands Wax on the surface and let it sit for several days before stitching these cards.

Each one has a unique flower, how clever. I love mine! Is it a wax you used over the paper surface?
