I finished the tag with some beads, pearls and lace. Hhhmmmmmmm, not quite sure ... I need to do some more trials with paper thickness, threads, .... if anybody has any hints and tips for this, I would be very grateful for any advice. Have a great weekend Petra.

White - Experimental Paper Embroidery
For Tag Tuesday the challenge was to create a tag in WHITE. A good opportunity to have a little play and to do some experimenting. I haven't done any 'serious' embroidery for a long time and definitely not on paper. For the tag I chose some shapes, cut them with nestabilities, underlaid it with felt and framed the cut-outs with little stitches and embroidery thread

oh wow Petra is there no end to your talents this is positively gorgeous. Have a great weekend, Annette x
Petra, this is gorgeous - fabulous mix of materials. xx
Just beautiful Petra - can't give you any tips 'cos I can only just about thread a needle! LOL
Oh my gosh! That is absolutely stunning!
Petra, this is beautiful! You may have just inspired me to give this a try!
ooo gorgeous white on white
AND
I am extra impressed you stitched on the paper
by hand?
I always wonder if punching a hole first would help but then it takes longer...but sometimes to pull the needle through I needed little needlenose pliers to help or a rubber thing to grip the needle...wondering if you found the same problems?
it was worth anything you went through Petra, really lovely!
oxo
very beautiful your tag with paerls and beads!
Have a nice weekend
greetings Maia
Beautiful! You did an amazing job with this embroidery!
This came out beautiful. I haven't done any embroidery before, but I have been wanting to learn to do a crochet edge on paper. Yours is very inspiring!
What a gorgeous tag - really clever idea using the felt and then stitching. Clever you! x
Absolutely gorgeous just as it is Petra!
Hugs,

Your tag is beautiful. It must have taken quite awhile to create.
It looks wonderful. Love the texture of the stitching.
