Embroidery reminds me of my grandma ... when I started thinking about possibilities for my design, I came across some vintage Ideals magazines, which also remind me of my childhood ... sitting at my Gran's house taking in the art on every page ... so I decided to use one of the pictures for my card design.
I added a simple stamped and embossed Hero Arts sentiment and a quick & easy card was complete.

I smiled when I saw the original inspiration, and this certainly captures the reality to a T. Although I think I usually had more issues with thread on the sewing machine than wool . Thank you for a year of great inspiration.
