This week's Friday Bloggers Challenge theme is an inspiration photo. This is the first time I have done a challenge based on a photo. It took a little thinking on my part so I hope I got it right. When I looked at the photo, several things stood out in my mind--quilt, colors, girl's room, country decor. I hope my card expresses these things.
I started with the quilt idea. The patchwork technique from the current Technique Junkies newsletter seemed the perfect background. The colors I chose--bundled sage green, mustard seed yellow, broken china blue, and spun sugar pink. The patches were sewn together using rub-on
stitches. I used a Stampin' Up background stamp with water for the print on the patchwork. The girls are from the Artistic Outpost Birds of a Feather sheetand the sentiment is from the Country Life sheet. The girls were colored with Creative Inspirations paint. I think the wooden buttons add a little country charm.

Wonderful take on this weeks inspiration piece! The Patchwork tech works great! Lovely coloring of the cute AO images!
Sweet image and great colors.
You did a wonderful job using the inspiration photo for your card. It's very charming and I love that you used "rub-on" stitching. Great for those who can't sew (like me)LOL!
So beautiful, Barbara...gorgeous card!
I do love the AO stamp and especially the quilt stitching which really compliments this king of stamp
Really great job on this challenge
