Here's my card to honor Lin. I chose this as my inspiration. Brighten My Day by bearpaw at Splitcoaststampers
I loved the bright colors and the quilt look about it. I made my quilt with left over strips of Print Poetry designer paper from SU. Once I finished the card, I put versamark over the front and clear embossing powder so the pieces wouldn't come loose. Next I stamped a small and large butterfly using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and the butterfly punches from SU. Then I added stickles to the butterfly and text. Congrats Lin, enjoy your week!

Brilliant paper piecing to create such a wonderful quilt! And thanks for the tip to top it with clear embossing powder to keep it all intact. Stashing that little gem of an idea away for future reference. TFS
