By Mary Carlisle
Materials Required:
Copper Metallic Thread and Embroidery Needle.
Pricking Pen and Mat, Tracing Paper and Pencil.
Hammer White Card 10cm x 15cm.
Gold Label Stickers: XL514U-01, XL500U-01
and XL326U-01 (optional).
Printed Papers: SR008P and SR019P.
Double Sided Tape, Masking Tape, Sticky Fixers.
Card Mount: SF01U-51 Hammer Blue.
To Make The Card:
Trace the position of all the dots then tape the
tracing onto the white card and place face up on
the pricking mat. Prick through all of the marked
dots using the pricking pen.
Thread the needle with copper thread and
bring the needle up from the back through sail 1
at the hole marked  A in red, tape the end of the
thread on the back. Take the needle down at  B
to complete the first stitch, then work C-D and
E-F. Continue round the sail in the same way
until all the holes are used. Work sail 2 (coloured
blue) next, and then sail 3 (coloured Mauve) in
exactly the same way.
Work the outline of the boat in backstitch (the
yellow letters). Bring the needle up at  b , down
at  a and up at  c . down at  b , up at  d , down
at  c up at  e and so on all the way round. Work
the hull and waves in the same stitch.
Cut the sky paper to 13 x 18cm and stick onto
the card mount. Cut 2 pieces of dark blue, one
13 x 6.5cm and one 13 x 2cm. Tear the top off
each to give a white edge and stick over the
lower part of the sky. Run gold sticker border-
lines round the edge of the panel. Sticky fix the
boat panel centrally onto
this background.
Stick the wording across
the corner. Snip out just a
tiny part of three outline
doves to make the seagulls
(see right) if desired.
