As a former quilter, I was so excited to see the IC suggested by one of my favorite quilters- Bonnie (okstamper), and was inspired by this fabric.
I wanted a very special card for Lindsay, a young mommy-to-be, who was just diagnosed with Lymphoma. Please see Mothermark's thread for more info, and please PM her for Linday's address if you would like to send Lindsay a card.
When I saw this fabric, I went into my stash of treasured material, and adhered this sweet pattern onto a sheet of double sided adhesive and cut the squares with pinking shears. Once on the yellow paper, I stitched around the edges and thru the centers of each piece.
The House Mouse image was watercolored and the cup has green gems and a coat of Crystal Effects. Punched leaves and primas were added. The inside sentiment is from Thoughts and Prayers and reads "Praying for You" and I used one extra square of material to accent the wording.
Thanks for looking!
Edit- just checked Cindy's thread, check this out!

Pat, this is just beautiful. Your stitching is so perfect as is the coloring of the cute mouse. Lindsay will smile every time she looks at it. What a neat name for their baby girl.

This is so precious and beautiful. That HM has never looked better. It is interesting that you used the words "treasured materials" because this card looks just like it was made with seriously meaningful and treasured materials. Another wonderful creation obviously filled with love!
