OK, HUGE thanks to Liz for letting me use a partial picture of her quilt for the background. She is truly the Queen of Quilts. Official credit:
Photo detail of Garden Rendezvous Reimagined, a hexified panel quilt designed, made and quilted by Liz Granberg of Gypsy Dreamer Quilts, 2016
I printed a picture of part of Liz's quilt, then cut to size for the background. I colored the House Mouse image (and I desperately would like MORE of this image, if anyone has the stamp???) with the Inktense pencils, then used a paintbrush to bring them to life with water. Fussy cut the image out, layered it onto lilac metallic cs, then mounted with dimensionals onto card. I added a strip of paper lace to the side, and split 2 small wooden spools in half, wound variegated metallic thread onto the half spools, and mounted those onto the paper lace.
I am SO in love with this card, but I owe that to Liz, as her quilt was the inspiration for the card.
she is a prize-winning quilter, also has awards for other sewing, notably smocking. Thanks again, Liz, for allowing me to post this!
