Congratulations Misti (Scrapperwannabe) on becoming our latest featured stamper. I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your beautiful works of art. I saw that you had used lots of House Mouse images. This is the sweet HM card I was inspired by HYCCT1325 Seed Spitting
I already had my image HM image mostly coloured. I needed to make a birthday card for our granddaughter, Kaylee - who is turning 6 years old next week. I created the quilted background - I used 5 different patterned papers, I cut five 1 inch strips and then cut them into 1" squares. Made the quilted design. Matted with black and checkered dp and sewed the squares together. Matted the image with black, checkered dp and black again. Made the sentiment banners and the tab with "Kaylee" Assembled and then sewed together. Image panel is popped up. Finished the inside.
Enjoy your time in the spotlight, Misti.
Hugs.Pat

Exceptional card, Pat! Your pieced and stitched background is perfect, and it sets off the adorable image beautifully. With all the work put into this, it's easy to see that it is going to someone very special to you!
