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!

I got this far last night and then it was time for bed - so I'm back for a second look and to leave a comment. I do love seeing your stitched cards - I've sometimes used embroidery on mine but only on fabric, not on paper. I love the look you get!
