I made these embroidery brushes for another project and I'm using part of it for my label. I used stock images from Adobe.

Added all the created cans into a take out package.
When I was a child, Sunbonnet Sue was a very popular pattern to embroider. I've adapted this image from an old embroidery pattern that profiled the activity to do around the house each day; colored the Sues, added light and dark shaping, then used my custom brushes to add the digital "embroidery". Each stitch and each color were stamped individually.
