This is for the HYCCT23 challenge which is Sew Thankful. We had to use stitching and incorporate friends in the card. I chose to do a quilt card since I'm a quilter. I cut 2.5 squares of fabric squares which was scraps from making a tote bag. I ironed the squares with fusible web, then onto GP white cs. I trimmed off the access around the edges. I used green metallic tread for all the stitching. I added 3 thin gold ribbons towards the bottom crossing each other. I added 2 mini gold adhesive beads to the dragonfly on the fabric. I also used DMC cream floss through the purple buttons, adhered with my hot glue gun. I stamped the sentiment with versamark ink pad, used gold embossing power on SU creamy caramel, used the heat gun to set. I layered with SU black cs. I added a gold dragonfly charm. The sentiment is attached with 3D circles. The base of the card is SU Basic Black cs.
This is beautiful. I especially love the dragonfly material. I may go buy some material and try my hand at this. I tried quilting but it's too slow for me. Or rather I am too impatient to quilt!

Oh my, how beautiful this is! And the tote bag the scraps are from must be equally beautiful too. As a sewer (dress-making, not quilting alas), the look of those fabrics caught my eye instantly. Love the beads on the dragonfly too, and those rich colours.
