Thank you card for a very special friend, using Inkadinkado's Sunflower stamp with text in the bg. Image was colored with a mix of Copics and watercolor, and the meandering stitch (learned at the hand of Kokirose! Thanks Pat!) to frame each layer. The little fence is from Michael's Miniature House section and can be found at Christmas time.
Thanks for looking and hope you can join the Dirty Dozen with your "Text" creations!
P.S. Huge, heartfelt thanks to the very special friend who gave me this stamp, and great times in her stamp room! LYMI Sistah!

So pretty! Bright and Cheery! Now you have me putting a note on my calendar to remember to look in the Michael's Christmas department for fence when the Christmas items are put out. It adds such a special element on your Greeting cards...

Whoa, Pat...that sunflower is amazing! Love the bold colors, and the glorious background. Your stitching is fab, I wish I could stitch like that on purpose, lol...it just kind of ends up that way...haha! And that picket fence is DARLING...that's great how it even has the wire holding it together! Classy lady, classy card...

LOVE that stunning sunflower, but the little picket fence and the "meandering" stitching are really fab details! I always wondered what to call that stitching style and now I know! :-)

This has captured my attention to the nth degree, Pat! That bit of fence takes me right back to yesteryear in the plains of OK. The scene you've created is wonderful ... love your mix of copics & watercolor too, you talented dirty girl!
