I decided to use my muslin and do a wee bit of free-stitching - gosh, I haven't stitched in quite a few years, but had fun doing this one. Then decided that I wanted the image to be in a "hoop" - had to layer the musline between 3 cardstock circles with lots of 3-d foam tape to get it just right :)
I used my hoarded stash of graphic45, along with some HeroArts flowers, Queen & Co. nightfall jewels, cut with my Sizzix dies, made my circle sentiment in photoshop, cut flowers with my fiskars punch, distressed a bit with Tim Holtz "vintage photo", and even colored the "black & white" ribbon to "brown & white" with my copics.
The inside was fun, too... I'll send this one out to our son&daughter-in-law, Devan & Danielle, who are now in Denver and we miss them sew much!
Have a lovely weekend and don't forget to get your projects entered to Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog with the theme of stitching and swirls using any Elisabeth Bell image.
There's still a week left for the February Blog Hop at The Digi Bells DT, too, where your entry will give you the opportunity to win the newest digi image "On Cupid's Cloud" by Elisabeth Bell.

Oh my Wendy this is an amazing piece of work! I love the elements that tie to the image theme like the fabric piece to make the image look like it's in an embroidery hoop and the threaded needle embellishment. And then the inside that carries the theme there too. Absolutely fabulous - I'm totally in awe of your creativity here and so glad you chose to share this incredible creation with us at Inky IMpressions.
