I made this for his weeks inspiration Challenge. I used a Fiskars debossing (frames and borders template to make my design. it looked somewhat like the quilt pattern. Coloured with certainly celery marker and a green sharpie marker Matted with certainly celery and garden green. Stitched around the edges and around the four corner squares. I coloured the round brads and the large square brads with the green sharper marker to match the green. I stamped the small flower on vellum in basic black and debossed the flower. matted and attached button brad. The picture does not do the card justice... I felt that a sentiment on the front would take aware from the design..
