It's time for a new challenge this week at Merry Monday! I hope you'll get out your supplies and join us for the challenge! Here's the inspiration photo and challenge details to get you started:
When I think of country charm, a quilt always comes to mind, so I was inspired to create the look of a red and white quilt on my card. It came together so very easily with the use of a star punch, some card stock and a bit of glue. I wanted to keep the overall look clean and graphic, so I added a single button and faux stitching with a marker. To finish the card, I chose a sentiment from the Special Season stamp set from Stampin' Up!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Special Season
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Real Red & Early Espresso Stampin' Write Markers
Tools: Small Star Punch (retired), Stamp-a-ma-jig
Extras: White button (my button collection), Mini Glue Dots, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals
Love the stars and stitching on this, Margaret! I love that it gives a country feel and it's also flat for easy mailing! Have a wonderful week! :)

Your card is just stunning Margaret. I love your 'quilt'. The stitched frame around the stars is so perfectly done and I love the wee button accent.
