April Papertrey Bloghop

Happy Wednesday. I hope are all having a good week. It has been in the 80's and felt like summer here the last few days. A little to hot for April but it is better than snow. Today is the 25th of the month which means it is also time for the Papertrey Bloghop.

This month the challenge was this inspiration photo.

I have had that photo pinned on one of my Pinterest Boards for awhile now so when I saw it being used for the challenge this month I was thrilled. The first thing I think about when I see those beautiful fabrics is a quilt so this is what I came up with

I started by punching squares from different digital patterned papers then I pieced them together to look like a quilt and machined stitched them. Next I stamped the sentiment from Quilters Sampler Sentiments Set on a Mat Stack 1 die cut then attached it to the front of the quilted piece. After I was done with that I tied a piece of Sweet Blush Satin Ribbon on the left hand side then added a ric rac rose that I made using this tutorial. Finally I finished it off with some pearls,more machine stitching and a piece of polka dot paper on the inside.

Since the rose creates a lot of dimension it would not fit in a regular envelope so I made a matching box for it using these SVG files but increased them to 110%

That's all for now. I look forward to seeing what everyone else has come up with on Nicole's blog now,. I hope the rest of your day is a great one and as always thanks for stopping by.
