I stitched the design on an offcut of dupion silk (any fabric will work, but silks and satins are nice) Then fold a piece of card and cut out a shape that suits the design and glue it in behind. (I used to freehand the cutout with a craft knife, but now I have a coluzzle and fiskars templates and cutters) Then cut another piece of card and glue it over the back to hide the back of the stitching. Sometimes I also cut a piece of thin batting in the shape of the cutout on the card and put it behind the fabric - just makes it look a bit fuller.

clear as mud?? lol..

I guess it would too, and easy to change the ribbon colour for a boy or girl :)

Thankyou - your cards were my inspiration to start making my own :)
