The Don’t Bug Me quilt top is done except for the borders….and
I don’t have anything in the stash to use so it will be off to R. B. Fabrics
once I leave the house. However, I had some blocks made for a Rocky Road to Kansas quilt so I
decided to pull them out and put it together. You need four small blocks to
make up one large block. They’ve been sitting half made for about 4 years. I
got the blocks put together and laid them out on the floor only to find out I
was one large block short! Aaaaggggggg. Maybe that's why I never finished it four years ago. I cannot find any more of the background
fabric in my stash so I’m not sure what to do about it. I guess I can either make a smaller
quilt and have some blocks left over or I have one block that’s different from the
rest. Not sure yet what to do. I know I’ll never find that fabric again at the store either. Some
days I just can’t win.
But I do like today’s card. This is another Inkadinkado
stamp.
For this card I sponged one various colours of distress inks, huffed on it
and stamped the image on white cardstock. Then I used my stencil brush to
pounce on some light blue. You will see this background paper in several of the
cards I will be posting. Once I cut into a 12x12 sheet of paper I want to use
it all up instead of adding bits to the stash. It’s sort of my new resolution!
The card base was made from some cardstock that just happened to match the
swirls in the paper. I wanted the image to pop so I found some brighter
cardstock and die cut the frame using two Spellbinder dies. The label is also
from Spellbinders. The sentiment is a gold peel-and-stick and I added three gold
gems to the butterfly body.
That’s all from the frozen north.
Cheers

Sometimes having one block different can be interesting and fun. I'll be curious to see what you do.
