A big congrats to Cheryl, the newest Featured Stamper! What a terrific gallery she has! I picked THIS to case. I kept the neutral colors & sort of star flower shapes, but I used different dies & made a card instead of a scrapbook page.
For my card, I die cut the star quilt in black (twice), & one each in 3 solid shades of tan/brown & 3 polka dot shades of tan/brown. I also die cut one star quilt out of ivory to use as my base so I would have something to attach them all to. Sort of like doing a 100 piece puzzle, lol.
After I arranged the pieces like I wanted & attached them, I attached one of the black grids of the quilt on top of the pieces. The other black grid fell on top at an angle, & I thoughtÂ…hmmm..that looks pretty good! So just for fun, behind some of the pieces (the black ones & the one directly next to them) I added other tan colors to make a complicated paper piecing even more intricate! Then I attached this black grid on top, turned at about a 20 degree angle then trimmed off the corners that stuck out. (I have a pic of this on my blog, for clarification).
The greeting was put together by rearranging the original sentiment & also adding a flourished Q in place of the original Q.
Congrats again, Cheryl! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I love this brown, tan and black star quilt card!! The colors are really striking with the brown and black together!! You are so creative to see things and bring them to fruition...I see things but they don't come out on paper...or I see things and people think I'm crazy!! Hee! I love your sentiment too!!
