Create Prayer Flag

This prayer flag was created for my dear friend Edel, in the Go Bananas Swap on Lettuce Craft.  When I saw the embroidery design on Urban Thread, I knew I wanted to use it for something.  I dug through my stash and couldn't find much in the way of plain fabrics for the background, so I went with a soft tan on on cream floral print that I felt matched the scrollwork in the embroidery.

I did a row of hand stitching along the edge and dush through my charms stash fro the letters for CREATE.  I didn't like the color balance of the charms, so I altered the C and the T with some Vintaj metal patinas, to try to bring in more of the green and turquoise from the embroidery.
