Patchwork Squares

Morning everyone,

I wish you a Happy New Year and do hope you enjoyed a good Christmas break.

My card today uses Hobby Art clear stamp set Decorative Backgrounds

 and Nesting Set

I created a Gelli Plate background with Adirondack ink pads in Wild Plum and Sunshine Yellow, using a brayer to blend the colours and the same stamp sets to add interest on the background.

I didn't ink the stamps or use an acrylic block, I simply stamped them directly onto the brayered ink gelli plate.

  Next I cut the background into 5cm squares and stamped the faux stitching using a

 Versafine ink pad in Crimson Red.

I then stamped the various images and textures using both stamp sets.

The base card is a folded piece of A4 Kraft card.

Next I cut squares of Hessian and Cheesecloth material to layer the squares onto before mounting onto the card.

I finished with various buttons, threads and a ribbon bow creating a card for any ocassion.

 Thanks for reading my post today,
