A Fun Spin on Quilt Cards

The challenge over at the Dynamic Duos #10 is to use the colors of Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive. I haven't done many color challenges for a while because I always seem to struggle with them the most, but a 2-color combination doesn't intimidate me quite so much. I've been playing along with these DD challenges and having fun experimenting with colors again.

I was inspired by a card I saw recently on Pinterest and this is the result. The picture I re-pinned didn't have a link where I can give credit, but you can find it here on one of my Pinterest boards. I thought a paper quilt would be fun to put together, so I made a few "quilt squares" for a focal point. I punched 1-1/4" squares of old olive and embossed them with the square lattice ef. I punched 1-3/4"circles from SU!'s cottage wall dsp and centered each square into the circles, and folded the edges up. I'm not a quilter so I don't know the name for this pattern, but maybe some of you quilters out there can help me out if it looks familiar! I used a SU! sentiment stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink and added a big brad to the center to finish this CAS thank-you card.

I had a few more squares that I assembled for the first card, so I made another another one, adding another color to the mix. For this one, I added some buttons to the centers, and another piece of dsp from the SU! Cottage Wall collection, finishing the edges with a MS doily border punch and a piece of Razzleberry polka dot ribbon. The sentiment is by SNSS and was done in Razzleberry ink.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a wonderful, color-inspired Monday!
