Time to grab your embroidery floss. I was able to cut off pieces that were about 24 inches long and that was plenty long enough for the outside row.



Cut off a piece and then split it in half so you have 3 strands. Thread your needle. Start from the corner and start stitching your card. I held down the string ends with just tape.



You can see from the pictures how I did. I kind of just went with it. My original plan was to perfectly measure out the stitch spacing, but I couldn't split it very nice, so I just did it.



I started each color from a different corner so that one corner wouldn't get bulky from having all the string ends in it. By starting in a different corner each time, I evenly distributed that bulkiness.



Now, just have fun with it.



Repeat with each color for each row. I went from dark on the outside to light on the inside. I also tried to alternate stitches for something fun. So if there was a stitch in the outside row, the next row in didn't have a stitch there. Check out what I mean in Photo 6 and then the photo of the completed card.
