Embroidered Rosies

I got to play along with one of my favorite Splitcoaststampers challenges this past weekend, the Inspiration Challenge hosted by SmilynStef!  She chose an etsy.com site called "Embroidery Everywhere" for inspiration.  I chose the lovely Simply Sweethearts embroidered flour sack seen HERE  to get me started.


Ever since I saw Maile Belle's background stamping with PTI's new Rosie Posie set, I knew that I wanted to try it out!  I stamped the roses along with the hearts from Love Lives Here in Tomato Red Fresh Ink.  The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Say It Loud set.  Added some layered buttons and gingham ribbon (is there any other kind, hee!) to set off my Valentine!  It's fun to think hearts and pretty things after all of those Christmas projects :)!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Rosie Posie and Love Lives Here, Papertrey Ink, and Say It Loud, Waltzingmouse Stamps
Paper:  PTI white and black
Ink:  Fresh Ink in Tomato Red, VersaFine in Black
Other:  black and heart buttons, gingham ribbon, corner rounder punch, Divine Twine

  4. You are such a class act. This is so so so so pretty. I agree that any other type of ribbon would have been all wrong. Perfect choices made here in every way. So flipping inspiring you are. Thank you.

  5. This is so gorgeous!
    I think Rosie Posie is coming to live with me...
    I've started avoiding release orders and waiting till I'm absolutely sure before I order...
    but I can't get this set off my mind!
    And you are so clever...
    those little hearts and using it as a romantic Valentine...
    love it! :)
    That gingham ribbon is perfect...
    and I swoon at the heart button! :)
