First I used my trusty airbrush to do a pretty blended background.
Then I machine embroidered some grass and greenery and added a bit more airbrushing.
This is the picture with finished airbrushing and embroidery. Next I sewed the little hand-dyed disks of fabric on to represent flowers and anchored them with French knots.
Here's the finished picture all trimmed up and sewn onto a border of hand-dyed fabric. It needs to go in a frame really, but I don't have one so mum will have to find one.
Here's a close-up. I added this because I think it's a cool photo!!!
I have banned mum from looking at my blog today as it's not her birthday til tomorrow and of course I don't want her seeing this til then. :0)

That's great Sindie. Much better than a card, and she will love it! It looks very like a Monet don't you think?
It will be in a frame and on the wall by the weekend.
If she doesn't like it, I'll have it for my new loo wall!!!
It's really good :O) You clever old thing you!
Thats gorg Sindie. Hope it gets pride of place on her wall.
Hugs, Sarah x
It wasn't that pretty when you showed me today!!
Sorry for thinking it was 'very nice Mother.' =D

Lovin' your creativity Sindie! Most energising!
Your shelves and pots post is right up my street too ... is it right to feel so good when your shelves are so pretty? *Scratches head* ... I guess I may need a little therapy eh? ;o)
that is really nice, and much better than receiving a card. I love hand making cards but what do you do with them after? I can never bring myself to throw them away, it seems wrong somehow.
