For my card I used a Bugaboo digi stamp called Needle Queen, but there's a few in this category, check them out here. I've printed here on the edge of a Ecoline watercolor panel, suitable for your printer, colored her with Spectrum Aquablend pencils and a Dove blender pen.
The panel is from the same paper and I;ve added the sentiment in Photoshop, you can also do this in Word or alike.
Because of the sentiment : make your own style" and the image of an older lady, I went with bright and weird colours. I think it goes
with the sentiment and the image.
I've then diecut a semi circle from that panel and stamped a round stitched stamped around it. I bought it second hand from Facebook, but it came like this, I have no idea who made it. But you might have something similar or you might try to do it by hand. I l almost did with the bottom one, as it is wood mounted rubber from TimHoltz/StampersAnonymous. and I didn't wan to to mess up all my work.
But the Stamppositioner worked, even if I wobbled the stamps as it's very narrow.
For both I've used Versafine Clair Nocturn ink.
I covered up a little smudge with Create a Smile enamel shapes. Mounted the panel with lots of
foamtape as it's so thin and flimsy, then added the lady and then added all to the cardbase. Trimmed where necessary.

This is an amazing card Maaike! Love that image with the needle for a walking stick and your colour choices are spot on. Well done for including the sewing twist too!
