KCRR41: The Quilting Technique

Welcome to a new KCRR challenge!

The Quilting Technique

Flower Trim

Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die

Interesting combination of elements! My first thought was... adding all three of these elements on one card could make it look quite busy and cluttered! However, there's always room for some creativity. I wanted to try out a new quilting pattern with paper. I did some Pinterest searching and came across this great pattern. I also loved the colour combo in this card so I decided to CASE it, adding some of my own detail.

I cut off a flower from the flower trim and added it to the center of the quilt design. I used Marina Mist for the butterflies and added pearls to the center of each of them. I love how this card turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to hop on over to Karly's Creations to see how she used these elements in her card.

Quilting Technique

 

I love using different techniques in my cards and 'quilting' is one I haven't used very often so I'm glad it was one of the chosen elements this week! I have a few retired stamp sets to choose from and decided "Upsy Daisy" would work best with this technique. I used a fun and fabulous colour combo from Fab Friday and picked an older sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and my card came together so nicely!

 

 

There are a couple different ways of doing the quilting technique. For my card, I punched out 1-1/4" squares from designer paper, glued them on white cardstock, put it through the big shot with the Top Note die and finally embossed it with the Square Lattice embossing folder. So easy, and the result is beautiful! I loved this colour combo so much, I decided to make a matching set of cards:
