Q.Q. Link up …Challenge

Good morning crafty friends,

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend. I just wanted to quickly share a card I made for the Quick Quotes Blog Link Up – Challenge. The challenge is over and a winner has been chosen.

Here is the card sketch that we were to use.



Here is the card that I came up with. The patterned paper is from the Quick Quotes Savvy Davvy line. The flowers, tiny flourishes and photo corners were made using a couple of Martha Stewart and EK Success punches and using the back of the Savvy Davvy 200 Designer paper. I brushed the flowers with a little Bloody Mary Chalk Ink and added a touch of Red Stickles to the centers of the flowers. The Ribbon is from Quick Quotes as well as the adorable Vellum Quote. I used some pop dots to raise the center panel just a bit. Lastly, I used my sewing machine to add the decorative sewn border.
