The Clean & Simple Challenge, CAS513 - Stitched It Up- 12/24/18, was to include on the card stitching of some kind (real or diecut or embossed).
Crafting time was in short supply today so this card was QAS (Quick & Simple). Hopefully it will also qualify as clean & Simple.
The charming quilters scene is from a postcard I bought to send to a dear friend who quilts. I intended to send it as a postcard, but decided to up cycle it into a real card when I saw todayâs challenge. Since I didnât do any real stitching on this card, I thought the Stitching on the postcard would add to it.
The tricky part of using a postcard is that it isnât a standard size that we use in card making. I didnât want to cut down the postcard so I opted to upsize my card base to 6 1/4â x 4 1/2â to accommodate it. The postcard itself was awkward size, so I tried to balance it with the yellow panel peeking out underneath.
The sentiment is a perfect one for my friend and it just happened to fit inside the Rectangular Stitched Frame die that I had in my stash. I finished it by adding a red panel before adding to the card front.
Thanks for popping by to look at my quilters card!
