Today I have a Christmas quilt I made using "
Inspiration Mosaic" and
Basic Grey Wassail DP. I stamped it onto four different prints, the "triangle" print is a solid rectangle and my bottom layer, I add a couple rectangles from the other three red, white and green prints on top of this.
TIP: When piecing or coloring the grid, I usually start at one corner and work my way around, alternating colors so I don't have three of the same touching at the end. It also looks pleasing to have a color "bounce" from one side of the card to the next, it draws your eye all around the card.
I put two Scalloped Long Rectangle
Nestabilities together to frame the mat.
Card base is
Pure Luxury Soft Sand. I love a neutral like this light tan with white and red or cranberry for the holidays, gives it such a folk art feel, perfect with the quilt theme! I added a few
white sateen flowers and colored the
adhesive nail heads with a Cardinal
Copic for the Centers. Greeting from "
Say it with Flowers" (yes, there's a holiday greeting in that set!) is stamped in
Memento Rhubarb.
Have a beautiful day, sneak peeks tomorrow night!
