This card is my take on the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge for Week #13.
When I saw this sketch, I just knew I had to work it into a quilting theme. My mom is an avid quilter, so I have set out to collect some quilting-themed stamps and make her a set of cards. This card uses Karen Lockhart's Quilt Block 2 stamp for the main image, which I colored with Copics and cut out using the Nestabilities Labels One die set. For the background and the sentiment, I used the Quilter's Sampler set from Papertrey Ink. I aligned all the little quilt squares by placing my acrylic block on a patterned grid and setting them out (luckily these stamps are clear.... I'm just not that savvy with my Stamp-a-ma-jig just yet LOL!). The cardstocks are Baja Breeze and Blue Bayou from Stampin'Up!, and white cardstock from PTI. I finished it off with some vintage buttons and Martha Stewart twine. Hopefully some day I will get my sewing machine in working order - this type of card just cries out for some stitching!!!Thanks for looking!
