Quilted Card - Birthday.

Hi all,

So, with Half Term upon us and more time to myself, I've been busy crafting :) Recently on SCS, I saw the tutorial for the Quilted Card and thought I'd have a go seeing as it's perfect for all those scraps that you have lying around and secondly my Mum's friend is a quilter and has a birthday this Thursday so perfect timing!

So, using Spring colours and some DSP, here is the quilted card below:

Quilted Card


Stamps: Occasional Quotes (Level 3 Hostess Set - P.14).
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Pretty In Pink, So Saffron and Whisper White. DSP - Sunny Garden and Patterns Stack - In Color in Pear Pizzazz.
