From the Heart


Welcome back to The Open Window!

It's time for another fabulous color challenge from


and look at these beautiful colors....

Mojito....Peony....Sand

This card is a 'quilted' pattern....


I took a little color license with the subtlety and went a smidge deeper
in my shades.  I used the fabulous new collection by Lori Whitlock
for Echo Park as my featured paper and showcased the beautiful
Lovely Labels 18 & Sew Lovely by NinaB Designs from The Craft's Meow.
I love everything Nina Brackett designs and these polka dot frames are
one of my favorites for sure!


I used the brocade embossing folder from Cuttlebug over the design on the patterned paper
for a little more texture to the quilt and on the other side are
the large 'dots' also from Cuttlebug.

I thought I would share this with the folks over at CARDS/Create
as they are having a challenge for 'quilt-style' cards.

I hope you will plan to join us in The Cafe for this great challenge.
Our design team have created a collection of very inspirational projects
to help get your creative juices flowing.
