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!
