This week we will be sending our cards to Winnepeg, Canada, to Kay, the Grandmother of Crystaldolphins aka Charlene.
This challenge makes me realize how much I miss my Grandma Walter. She would love all the beautiful cards on SCS and all the beautiful dps that are out now. Cindy, the Mudder would certainly have made my Grandmother proud with her beautifully crafted cards.
So it is with great pleasure that I made this card and send it to Kay. Charlene, go see your Grandmother, she is a TREASURE and BOTH of you deserve to see each other!
I did the tulips in paper embroidery. The actual pattern is all three lined up vertically, but I had already done it that way, so I switched it up a little to be horizontal.
Thinking of you was stamped with chalks. This was really an easy card to make.
I made this card and send this card in honor of My Dear Grandmother that is no longer with me in life form, but always in spirit.
Now, where's that mint julep that been poured in the tulip?! I'm ready to hollar and hoolep!

Oh my gosh, you stitched this? I thought it took a long time to do stitching with a gel pen on mine, I cannot IMAGINE you stitching this. And the tulips are just beautiful! Fantastic card!

Jennifer, you are so sweet! Thank you for your 'story' and for sharing. I will be seeing my grandmother in July and I can't wait to see all these cards IRL! This is beautiful! I do cross-stitch so I know that for even a small image, it takes awhile! Love the colours and the butterflies and how you added the sentiment! Thank you for sending to my grandmother!
