This card was inspired by the You Can Do It Challenge with a theme of Quilts and the Ways to Use It challenge to use the Pantone's color of the Year ~ Emerald Green. I used "paper quilting" directions shared by Dea ~ Stamperamma. They were great instructions and I'd like to do it again. Not bad for my first attempt, although practice makes perfect! I used the closest I have in paper to Emerald Green and added a touch of burgundy for contrast. It reminded me of Christmas. So, I added the Christmas sentiment and now I have a card towards my February goal in the Christmas Card 2013 Challenge. It's amazing all the things one can do with cardstock and paper! TFL

I truely love your card. It made me think of St. Patties Day. I love the look of a quilt. Can you direct me to where I can find out how to do it? Thank you.
