Recently while sorting through some silk ribbon embroidery pieces I found some leftovers from a jewellery class I taught at my Smocking Guild meeting. So when I saw to-day's inspirational challenge site with all those wonderful vintage roses it reminded me of this embroidered piece. All you have to do is find a piece of fabric you like and follow the pattern with stitches. I included a sample of the broach our class made using this technique. The rest was simple. double frame it.. mount it on foam dots.. and cuttlebug the background. I also added some antique crackle with a hero arts stamp and made lines with my scorepal. I also added a little bit of faux stitching with a dressmaker's tracing wheel.

This looks like it should be hanging on someone's wall. What a pretty piece of art this is! You did a wonderful job of "framing" it as well...Just beautiful!
