Boy a bug has caught me good. Started getting a sore throat in my sleep last night. I was hoping it would be gone by morning. BUT it is afternoon and it is getting worse. So this will be brief,sorry.
Made this card for two challenges. The Limited Supplies which was to make a quilt and Queen For The Day04 which is featuring Linda, aka:Snail as the Queen. Woo Hoo Linda and congrats! I chose this card to case. It had a fish on it. So I turned one fish into a school of fish. hehe
All stamps are from Rubbernecker Stamps . I had made this attic window type quilt many years ago. It is hanging in the back of DH closet. So I thought I would try to re-create it with paper. Can't really explain all I did because it would be too confusing.
Basically, stamped the fish and greenery, clear ep. Sponged sailboat blue around, cut into squares. Put on white paper, then added the strips of dp which ended up being kind of hard. Put my whole quilt on a white card sponged sailboat blue adding the three pearls.
Well, hope you like this. Was fun cas'ing you Linda. Have a great rein! hope I spelled that right. hehe..............TFL :0)

This just darling, russian spy! I love the quilt/cage(?) concept. You've framed it beautifully, and no I have no idea how you"ve done this. Can someone help me translate russian spy narrative into the language I speak? Very sweet card.

I hope you are getting better.
Your strips and edging create a wonderful quilt, along with the gorgeous fish. (Are fish gorgeous?)
