You need to put the CS you plan on piercing the pattern onto on a soft surface. I used a mouse pad, you can buy the SewEasy self healing foam mat, which is on its way, or a foamy surface of anytime. It just needs to be soft because the piercing head is made of plastic and you don't want to damage the patterned piercing teeth. Here you can see what the CS looks like after running the Vine head over it. Really doesn't look like much yet.
On the next picture you can see what it looks like after a couple of stitches.
Here is a picture of the finished vine. I have to say it is a little time consuming but it looks really nice. I did about 18 cards with this stitch in one day. The next head I will try out will be the double hearts one. Need to make some Valentine cards LOL.
This one shows some pearls I used at the end of some of the leaves, you could also use brads maybe with flowers or stickles.I like how the card turned out, the CS is all DCWV, cut and embossed using Spellbinders Lacey circles, miscellaneous ribbon and I cant recall were I got the stamp. What a great Spring Thank You card.
Happy Crafting, my next post will show another new technique I have just learned. Here's a hit, I need to buy a lot more fine glitter!
Beautiful card! I am delighted to say that I am the recipient of one of these cards. I LOVE your work. Thank you for the beautiful card and for sharing your experience with this new tool. Marsha :)
