Hi Stampers!
Another week and time
for another ColourQ Challenge! As many
of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the many of the
projects from the Design Team this week's CQC157 ColourQ Challenge reflect how our thoughts turn to those
who have been impacted by this disease. Since this card is a quilt card with a lot of texture, I decided to submit this card to the Stampin’ Up! Only SUO55 TextureChallenge as well (again, both sites have wonderful inspiration :-)).
Once I created my “quilt”- the original quilt was a bit over 5” x 5” , I cut it apart and will be able to make four cards from one quilt- a “one sheet wonder” quilt, so to speak :-)
To create this card:
Punch out 4 squares
using the 1 ¼” Square Punch from Basic Grey DSP (I used paper from the Neutrals
Designer Series Pack), 4 squares of Basic Black DSP (I used retired Night and
Day DSP) and 8 squares of Whisper White cardstock. Fold the squares in
half and cut along the fold to create your triangles.
Using graph paper (I
used our SU! Grid Paper), apply 2-Way Glue and lay down the quilt squares. I just
used a modified windmill pattern – pretty quick and easy once the pieces are
cut and ready to go :-)
After the pieces are
adhered to the backing sheet, I cut the sheet in half to fit into the Lacy
Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Emboss the panel and cut the panel again in half.
Layer the quilt
pattern onto Pink Pirouette and again onto Basic Black and Whisper White to finish
the focal panel.
Adhere the entire panel
onto an embossed piece of Basic Grey DSP (again embossed with the Lacy Brocade
EF and lightly sanded). Add the circle
with the Rhinestone in the center.
Stamp the butterflies
using Melon Mambo Classic Ink onto Pink Pirouette DSP and punch out with the
Elegant Butterfly Punch. Add Rhinestones
to the butterflies and adhere randomly to the card front. Adhere the Black Organdy
Ribbon bow with the Filigree Brad center (both items are retired) along with
the sentiment to finish off the card.

I have a great friend who just had unexpected gall bladder surgery last week and she loves pink, so this card will be mailed to her to let her know how that I have been praying for her full recovery :-)
Thanks for
visiting and if you stop back again in a few days, I will be sharing another quilt card with you:-) Have a
great week!
