WOW, Brenda...what a fascinating Pinterest Board! Who knew? Not me. But I love those needle minders. And I could see a serious new collector category in my future IF I hadn't issued a moratorium on myself!
I immediately thought of this panel I had done years ago, but never finished. The Blessed stamp was a Michaels coupon just because I loved the positive sentiment. And then I probably acquired the Tim Holtz 'Sewing' die cuts which includes a button, spool, along with the dressmaker model. I used the die cut as a stencil for my panel. Splattered some Silks paint over the background.
Here is my inspiration buttons and needle. I could add a needle, a few buttons, a measure of DMC Black thread and finally I could bring my blessed to the gallery.
I can't wait to see what inspired you! I've really felt the love of my grandmother, who nurtured my artist side today. I can't help but smile with loving thoughts of her.
Have an amazingly creative day~o.
I am editing to add...my card does not have the random white edges. I am not sure why it photographed that way. Could be glue sticky I had on my fingers as I creased the fold. It is all black IRL.

Wonderful, Susan! I love your random color & splatter bg & the greeting IS so very positive. That looks just like a needle I need, lol. At least if you collect needle minders, they won't take up much space. Just sayin'...
