I stitched this a couple of years ago. I used Heidi Swapp's scrapbook paper with a bird for a template. I did the font myself.
I used to be a part of a monthly stitch group and used to stitch all the time.
To do this project, I used everything that I had on hand. I just painted the frame black & tea-dyed muslin. {I don't drink tea, but I have some on hand for projects like this}
The flower is actually attached to the glass on the outside. I just layered a flower then cut out 2 different sizes of circles and folded them to give a petal look. The bling in the middle is from the flea market, I bought it knowing that I would be able to use it somehow.
Have a fabulous weekend!
