Design a very easy card for any occasion using the prick and stitch method. I chose an apple image that I found on the Internet. 
Then using a yarn needle I just pricked holes around the image. Then I went back using embroidery thread and stitched the outline. Super simple! I finished the card with an embroidery thread bow.
Materials Needed:
- Cardstock
- Embroidery Thread
- Yarn Needle
- Apple Image
- Button
- Mini Bowdabra
- Hair Bow Tool & Ruler
- Bowdabra Bow Wire
