Love Is The Thread.....

Hello everyone and welcome to a new RETRO RUBBER challenge, this time we have a beautiful picture inspiration for you that shows the magnificent colors of early Autumn, we can't wait to see your awesome cards in our gallery. I took the colors of this picture to make this card.


With the cooler temperatures comes cozy, warm sweaters and hot, aromatic coffee or tea by the fireplace, so this image from the retired Flourishes set "Stitched for You", that was released back in 2012,  is just perfectly inviting. This sweet image reminds me of my maternal grandmother who taught me how to knit and crochet when I was about 9 or 10 y/o. I remember her bedroom, her sewing machine by the window, drawers full of fabric, yarn and patterns, but most of all, her voice and warm hands teaching me how to move the hook or knitting needles, I treasure those memories.

I stamped this image onto a piece of Canva water color paper with Versafine black in and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder then, colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter.  The pattern paper and ribbon are from my stash. The sentiment comes with the set.
I punched the corners of the brown panel with a retired SU corner punch and added brass colored brads just to accent the teeny, tiny hearts on those corners.

Here is a picture of the

The sentiment is from another retired Flourishes set called "With Gratitude".
So please join us over at RETRO RUBBER, we can't wait to see what you create.
