Today's color challenge: Bashful, Celery and Melon Mambo ... or is that Mambo Melon, lol. This week, the color challenge is being combined with the Teapot Tuesday challenge by [bold]Mothermark[/bold]. Her teapot story is a riot, and I think you'll also be moved by her story about Lindsay.
I pieced the background with bashful/celery dp and matted on some melon before piecing it via machine. The sentiment is the image on this card stamped in green and matted on melon then popped up on dimensionals. The card base is vanilla with bashful dp then a Labels nestie in celery split to extend out the sides. The quilted panel is also popped up with a piece of melon colored rick rack. I punched 2 flowers from the same dp and used a large epoxy brad as the center.
I think its cute ... I need to get easier access to my sewing machine so I can use it more on my paper crafting.
Thanks for looking!

OMG - what an awesome quilt you've stitched up! Love the contrasting color of thread and ric rac - it really makes your quilt squares pop! Perfect sentiment too.
