Jean loves cats and the color yellow. I went with the yellow, but I'll try my hardest to get a kitty on the inside with the scripture. Wish I could send a real one for the great comfort they provide.
This circle has my embroidery on it, using a variegated yellow thread. The flowers are from a ribbon that is white. Though barely visible here, the same stamp that is on the white bg piece, is stamped under the sentiment. I hope Jean likes the yellow and blue combination, the yellow represents sunshine and cheer, while the blue represents the vast sky and oceans.
I decided to see how long it took to do the embroidery while watching TV, it took 45 minutes.

the embroidery, double embossing and ribbon flowers are fabulous and all in a gorgeous palette of blue, yellow and white for a crisp look. Fantastic job.

Yellow, blue and white....it brings to mind gorgeous sun and white fluffy clouds against a deep sky...so uplifting - and the embroidered circle is like a beautiful sun. So much lovely dimension and texture, Jennifer, and I love your flowers!
