Stained Glass Flower Cards

I fell in love with these stained glass cards as soon as I saw them. I am absolutely fascinated by bright colours so they really caught my eyes. Also, having grown up surrounded by flowers and plants these really appealed. 

So far, I have only done the pansies, but hope to do the tulips and the daffodils this year (as shown in the magazine picture above). I'd like to frame the three in a 'triptych' frame so that they are all together. I think they'd look great in a hallway to brighten the place up and welcome people into the home.

The only hard bits about doing the pansies were the single lines of cross stitch going downwards. I left these until last so that I could use the backs of other stitches to catch the thread to hold the stitches in place.


I am putting in pictures of past cross stitch projects as I haven't managed to stitch at all this week :-(  I keep looking at my WIPs but am really too tired to pick them up and have a go. Hopefully I will get some done over the weekend and get the stitching bug again. Also, might take a trip to Hobbycrafts to get a frame for Bambi!!
