SHOPPING OUR STASH #387 - Inspired by Quilting

Good morning crafty peeps and welcome!

Did any of you get to see the 'Super Blood Wolf Moon' last night?

The lunar eclipse was pretty awesome to see.

I actually stayed up and tried to take pictures, but

all my pics came out blurry, as the high winds kept me from being steady

with my camera. (Plus it was -1 outside, so I wasn't out long.)

Oh well, it still was gorgeous to see!

This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, Mimi is your hostess with the mostess,

and she picked the theme quilts as your inspiration!

Here's my take on the challenge:

and the inside:

I used a much neglected quilt die and cut from four different patterned papers and four

times in white card stock. After gluing the white frames to the card bases, I arranged my

designs and glued. all. of. those. pieces. back. in. place.

Then, since I still had the frames from the DP and white bits, I pieced

four more cards! 

On two of these cards, I first arranged the bits on some scrap paper and spritzed

them with a couple colors of Glimmer Mists, to break up some of the whiteness.

After I assembled these, I felt they still needed something, so I broke out a

butterfly punch and, using another scrap of paper from the collection, 

added some butterflies. Much better!

That's 8 cards! All painstakingly paper pieced! Gah!

I don't think I'll be attempting that again any time soon.

My eyes still haven't refocused yet. LOL!

So now it's your turn to create something inspired by a quilt, and link up

at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see your take on the challenge.

have created to awe and inspire you!
