How fantastic when you can take a small element from another card-making project and create a warm, beautiful card to bring joy and encouragement to someone else! I'm a huge lover of anything quilted, and this just brings a smile to my face, it's lovely! The quilted dots of the embossed image give a quality and texture of hand-knots... I just finished making over 50 cards with hand-stitched backgrounds, 42 of which went to my Mom as a gift, she's a master cross-stitcher and the project took over 16 months to complete. Now I want to finish by making some cards for myself to give, then I have an idea to use hand-stitching on cards in a different way but need to figure out some technical considerations... All to say that I love when we can combine the love of another crafting medium onto our cards, and what a success is this card in creating the essence of quilts. Well done, SO beautiful and the 3D elements really bring this card alive so to speak.
