Fresh Brewed Designs
is a Photo Inspiration!
To me, with the soft pinks and pop of green, this photo called to creating something calm and soothing!
This is my card!
I tried a variety of things and, well, frankly, none of them worked!
First of all, the obnoxious yellow paper in this picture is actually a soft lime green... lighting is terrible today and I just can't seem to get a good pic.
Second, the "quilted" background...
I cut out an SVG called "Lazy Quilter's Series" from the alliance trader.
Maybe it was just the wrong papers, but it didn't work for me.
So I tried to improve it by piercing holes in it... hmmm... not much better!
So I used a spica pen to connect the holes to "look" like stitching... OK... that looks OK... let's put it together!
I added the buttons to the corners and threaded the embroidery floss (pink and green) thru, then mounted the assembly on my green mat.
My image is "Coffee, Take Me Away" from Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp collection!
I paper pieced her cup/tub and the towel... that took quite a while, too.
When I put her on the "quilt", she vanished!
Oh Boy! Now what! ?!
I took all that time poking those darn holes and paper-piecing the image, I'm NOT starting over! ... let's try putting her on a darker background...
So! That's what ya get, peeps!
And just so you know, after I took this picture and posted it, I tore it all apart!
I'll post my "Mulligan" (that's a do-over for you non-golfers) when I figure out WTH I'm going to do with it!
Ah, well, we all have one bad day, right?
