This is my version of Mabel Figworthy's wonderful Windmill.

I couldn't get the Threadworx 'Bradley's Balloons' but Mabel suggested Caron Tahiti.

Then the 'BLING' took over as I decided to make it into a birthday card for my daughter. So there are silver daisy sequins with yellow bead centres and a yellow sequin in the centre over the Greek Cross.
I mounted in onto some cream silk which is why it's not flat and tight in the mount.

Your daughter is going to love this "Keep Forever" birthday card!!!

How pretty! Your daughter is very lucky and who doesn't love a bit of bling! Fabulous card Wendy

Very pretty, love the colour and the bling

Beautiful work Wendy. Fabulous colours, such intricate stitches.. Your daughter will be over the moon with this beautiful birthday card. Really fabulous

Extra bling is always good - I like how you've turned the sequins into daisies with their yellow bead centres!

Definitely a "keep forever" card. I love it heaps. Well Done Wendy.

WW, that's totally fantastic!
