Okay, first off, how did I get this for IC118 that featured a picture of a green irish shamrock quilt?
Well, for sometime now I have wanted to use this stamp I've had for over a year of a bunny WITH A QUILT!!! Thus - this is a stamp of a quilt. I had stopped on my way home this afternoon and picked up this darling purple paper ( I know, it looks blue in the photo ) that I thought would be perfect for Easter. Thus - there is a little green in the pillow and on the trim but not on the majority of the quilt.
Man, I had nightmare with this card... My biggest colluzle circle was as big as the actual image circle. Don't look to hard as I had to cut the other circles out freehand ....around the first circle. Then as the paper had scallops, I decided that I wanted scallops all around the border... so I traced them from the paper and cut them out with sisccors TWICE because I was not quite happy with the initial size.
Bunny - have a nice time in bed...I think I might need a coke slurpee after this to calm my nerves..
Thanks for looking!
If I don't comment now ...I'll be back..with the coke slurpee and comment later!!

Wow, you worked really hard on this one, Deborah! I can see why you had to have that stamp -- it's a keeper for sure. What a cute image. And you did, indeed, take your inspiration from the original -- a quilt. Good job!

Deborah, you're a hoot, girl. This is simply adorable. If I had a quilt stamp staring me in the face, it would never have occured to me to use it for this challenge. there you again, always one step ahead of the crowd: What a great quilt! Darling stamp. Sorry you had such a bad: Hopefully that coke slurppe hit the spot. after all this work, you sure deserved a refreshing break. Magnificent job with today's challenge. Love it, Deborah.
