What a great IC, so much to choose from! I have three grandbaby bd parties today, and had no cards this morning. When I saw this piece, I knew I had an idea for Clay, who turned 2 on July 5.
The images are from Clear Dollar Stamps, and have been paper pieced using black EP on each. The mountains were hand cut, cuttlebugged and sponged before adding stitches. The sky and silo are made from wall paper samples.
Happy Birthday Clay! XXXOOO, Grandma Pat
Thanks for looking, see you after the parties!

You had a busy time in the challenge today, Pat! Thhis one has to be my favourite - love the mattress-ticking sky, that wonderful feather-stitching and the great folk/rustic feel. Makes me think Charlotte's Web. Bet this card was loved .
