Saturday Quickie...

Happy Saturday,

Just a quickie today as I mentioned I have a workshop today in Loughborough which is local to me me so it make s nice change not to drive miles!

Todays card Is a more complex version of the card I posted last week click HERE to see the original post.

I did the same technique as I described with the quilted blocks triplet however this time I cut the centre form the piece by hand.  I then threaded the heather seam binding through the die cut piece and added a (sorry ladies) large bow and a small pearl embellishment.

I finished with a sentiment stamped o the smallest pierced take and a white frame to make this 20 x 20cm card blank.

Ingredients:
Creative Expressions Craft Dies by Sue Wilson
Quilted blocks
Pierced Tags
Cobalt & Coconut white foundation card.

Enjoy...

    Morning John, and what a gorgeous card we have today, love it especially the colours you have chosen but the background dies really do bring out the quality of the card.


    Enjoy Saturday whatever you are doing, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Eh up John
    You never need to apologise for your creations matey. Art is always subjective.
    This is marvellously designed and the ribbon and bow are in perfect context to the design. My kinda card!
    Enjoy our local demo and say "Hi" to Joy for me.

    Hi John, beautiful card, love the colours and the quilted blocks. The seam binding is a gorgous colour. I really like the way you have interwoven the ribbons where they meet and threaded it under some of the background but I think the large bow covers most of it up so you don't see that detail so much, I might have gone for a slightly smaller bow to show this detail off a bit more. Still a gorgeous card though.
    Have a great day - blessings - Deb C xx

    I have this striplet so will have to try this design. However I am hooked on the mica paints at the moment... Find them so therapeutic.
