Audrie gave us a site that CherylQuilts recommended, called the Vermont Store. It didn't take me long to find my inspiration. This bedspread reminded me of one my Grandmother had years ago. http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/s...edspread/50613
Embossed the image....water colored with the inkpad. Water colored the strip of paper to put the sentiment on. Added some embossing with borders. TFL Will be back later to see all the great uploads...off to pick strawberries.

Linda, this is absolutely beautiful!!! Blue is my fav color and this caught my eye immediately. Such exquisite detail. Love, love, love it!! Have fun picking strawberries. I did that two weeks ago and after 3 pans of shortcake they are all gone; except for the ones I froze for winter. Hugs~~~

WONDERFUL! I think we need a tutorial on how you did the shading around your flowers - they are absolutely spectacular! Your deep blues are to die for too! Thanks so much for inspiring us in turn! Straight to my favs it goes!

That image embossed in white is gorgeous! Love the shades of blue, and your wonderful calligraphy.

Gorgeous!! The corner flowers are spectacular- I love the monochromatic coloring. The embossed borders are perfect to showcase the sentiment panel. Lucky recipient!

Oh, Linda, WOW! This is gorgeous, and I love the bedspread that inspired you. How precious that it reminded you of one your grandmother had. I love how you've made the embossed border and how you've stamped and the watercolored this azalea. I love the depth from your coloring! You continue to delight and amaze me, my friend! I love it and am so glad you liked the site. Hugs!
