Today I'm playing along with a fresh & fruity challenge over at the Paper Dolls blog (link here). Looks like we're waiting for summer ripe cherries! I used Karen Hughes' 3rd sketch in Papercraft's Go-To Sketches #1, p. 64 - a circle element with sentiment strip & scalloped far edge.
I used Basic Grey Lemonade papers to make a quilt with zigzag stitch stamping from PTI Button Boutique. There's a sentiment from Quilter's Sampler inside (can't quite remember which...). :)
This homespun feel called for a special banner so I gave it some love. It's hard to see, but I kissed the edges of the polkadot leaves with new leaf ink to give a little definition.
Hope your day is sweet & special!
xoxo,
Christy

Very sweet. Love your use of the stitch stamp.
All of those different bright and cheery patterned papers you chose to create the "quilt" on the background are just awesome! And I love that curly banner :)
Fabulous sewing on your patchwork card! The colors are so fruity to me and those cherries, just too much fun! Great card!
What a fun card. I love the patchwork quilt you created. I didn't realize there was a zig zag stitch stamp in that Button Boutique set. Now, I'll want to use it on everything.
Beautiful!!
LOVE those papers making the "quilt"...

And the banner...
