This is for today's technique challenge and what a great one it is Holly. Thanks for stepping in as our technique leader! The challenge was to use the quilting technique. I used squares of Rich Razzleberry dsp, glued them to a white base, then cut them out with a Nestie die. While I was looking at my dies, I ran across the paisley Nestie. I hardly ever use that shape, so I wanted to pull it out and give it some love. I punched the shape out of white paper and gave it a stamp with curry ink with the Stitched background stamp. It's kind of subtle, but there. I overstamped the sentiment in Razzleberry ink, then added some ribbon and bling. The yellow center of the daisy was too bright, so I toned it down by coloring it with the Curry marker. TFL and for your sweet comments.

What a great design, love the ribbon treatment! That paisley die was a brilliant choice (I always wondered how one might use that), really eye-catching.
