For today's IC challenge from Artful Whimsy - I was inspired by this white washed sign
I had cut this spool (edited from 'thimble'! thanks Sallie!) with my Silhouette last night when I was making a card for the F4All challenge . I 'white washed' the center to look like the thread wound around it using white acrylic paint. I embossed the top and bottom of the spool with distress EP to give the texture of wood.
Stamps are from Papertrey Ink.
Hope everyone's having a nice weekend - it's a summer day here in MA - we spent the day at my grand nephew's 1st b'day party - a fun time!

You are so creative!!! LOVE your wonderful white-wash look!!! And the whole idea of a spool of thread and needle to mend is awesome! Love how the thread ends up being a bit of flourish too! Love it!!!

You did this spool card in such an artistic way with the brush strokes of white paint. The sentiment with needle and thread makes a wonderful get well card, Julia.
