Jazzing Up Your Stitching

Blending filament can be an absolute ball to play with! Just because a chart doesn't call for the use of blending filament doesn't mean you don't have to use it. For example, I recently did a card up for my dad with fish and the background had water and coral. I wanted to give it a bit of pizzazz so I used two strands of blending filament mixed in with the blue of the background water. Talk about a HUGE effect!

I could have just used one strand, but I thought the two strands would give it a lot more sparkle.

Currently, I am working on a card with a balloon and there are ribbons streaming from it. So I figured a simple little addition of blending filament is in order! Especially now that I have found the Accentuate blending filaments. It's easy to use and easy to thread. :)

I can't wait to add it to a slew of other projects!

Water.

Clouds.

Ribbons.

Stars.

Twinkle in an eye, perhaps!

Happy Stitching!
