This weeks' PTI Make-it-Monday challenge was to create a background using non-background stamps. I took the triangle banners from "banner builder" and created a baby quilt:
I haven't decided yet if the crazy machine stitching works or not. You can be the judge :)
The sweetie-pie cupcake image is from PTI's "baby button bits". I paper-pieced the leaves, cupcake, and cupcake liner using different colors of cardstock that were stamped with subtle patterns.
Since the background is so crazy (or cozy... not sure yet, right?) I kept the focal panel super simple.
Hope you like it!
This is wonderful, Elena!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the triangles to stamp a baby quilt and I really like how you sewed over top, but didn't follow the triangle lines-- I'm going to have to try this!
love that background you created!! really awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Elena! I would never have thought to use the banners to make a background like you did. It has a quilt-like effect. Very cool. I like all of your stitching, too. I'd say it definitely works!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. Great idea to use those banners. The stitching works for me, and looks very much like you would find on a real quilt. And that cupcake looks good enough to eat.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love the quilt llok! Your background is awesome!
ReplyDeletelove your background and the stitching looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Very creative. I love the stitching. You colors are great too!. Super card.
ReplyDeleteVery creative to put the banner builders to work on a quilt design. I think the stitching is just what it needed, too. Do you think you would like it better if you stitched along the interconnecting lines along the rows of triangles? Just a thought-it's a very clever and beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThe crazy machine stitching definitely works. Just thought I'd let you know. ;-) Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I miss that cupcake, I'm going to have to get mine out. Love the stitching.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilted background Elena and the yummy cupcake!
ReplyDeleteReally excellent quilt - love the patchwork and quilting. And always love that cupcake, which you've stamped just perfectly!
ReplyDeleteIt totally works! The stitching I mean. Such a cute card, I love cupcakes!
