For today's Inspiration Challenge, the Artful Whimsy site, I was influenced by the French Cafe Sign (http://www.artfulwhimsy.com/item_35/...-Cafe-Sign.htm) with its weathered yet timeless appeal. I took my Jim Holtz Alterations Stitches and Patterns Texture Fades EFs- and applied some lilac ink on top of the embossed images. I paired this with SU's Take a Sip and Greeting Card Kids. My girl has a paper pieced green and pink dress, and is surrounded by two sewing "projects". I finished with a tie/button combo in the upper right corner.
