Ed071 Happy New YearCompleted by Gail Pennycuick

I printed the design onto paper and used it as the template for pricking the design, which I did directly onto a textured gold square card base.

I followed the directions for the stitching and beading using silver thread, silver seed and bugle beads and gold stars instead of spacers.

I added my own border of seed beads and silver thread to complete it. I have not put a sentiment plate on there, so if I choose to use it for another event I can.

This design is easy to follow and the end product is beautiful.
