I was having creative block big time and started flipping through a bedding catalog for inspiration, and I found one that caught my attention. This card is my interpretation of the bedding set. My original idea for it didn't quite work out the way I had hoped and I ended up wasting a decent size scrap piece of cream colored CS, which i hate to waste, but then I just went with this simpler design. It turned out ok. I wish I could have been able to actually make the one I had in my mind, it was a lot prettier!
For this one, I kind of wanted to incorporate the quilting that was on the bedspread. I measured on the back of the blue piece, made marks, and actually 'embossed' the quilting, but used the 'debossed' side. I don't like the elongated diamonds and wish I would have made them more square-ish, but I didn't want to waste another piece and figured I would just go with it. For such a simple card, it took me a really long time, but it was an adventure!
