Whew, we have had some storms this week...
causing me to have my computer unplugged most of the week
But I have to admit, I got a lot done in the house...
It also caused me to miss some of my favorite challenges...
I always try to do the challenges at "City Crafters"
and this week the challenge is "cottage charm"
using the beautiful photo below for inspiration
and you should see the "beauties" the DT came up with this week
GOR-GE-OUS!!!
For my card I pulled out an old quilt book I had.....
I at one time was going to donate this book, but decided to keep it for cards...
I am so glad I did.....I chose "country pinwheel" for my card.....
It took a little bit to "piece" together, but was well worth it!!!
I used a 7/8" square punch, then cut them in half diagonally...
after gluing each little piece down, I decided to "quilt" it
by using an embossing folder!
The stamps used (inside and out) are some of my newest from a "new to me" company
called "Deep Red"....
added a little bit of rick rack, a crochet flower, stick pin and that's it!!!

This card is really special. It must have taken some time to get the pinwheel pieces in place but the effect was worth it. From a quilter, it's exquisite! Wedding party is gorgeous!
