When I started learning hand embroidery and making greeting cards around the same time, my husband asked what would happen if I embroidered a greeting card. After explaining all the reasons it obviously wouldn't work.. I tried it.

I love the texture the thread gives the paper, and I love using my own two hands to make each card come to life. Greeting cards are special to me because I know from experience that if the words inside are sweet enough, a person might keep a card forever.

So in that case we better make sure the rest of the card is beautiful, too.
