Happy Hump Day,
I love blue and yellow paired together so I just had to play along with the the Color Hues challenge 88. Many options would work for these colors. In the end, I decided to use some Concord & 9th supplies and make a bright paper quilt.
I started by using the Pick Me Up Turnabout stamp, stamping and embossing with white on both blue and yellow card stock. The quilt dies are from the Poinsettia Quilt Top die set. I cut the pieces from the same area on both of the colors then alternated the colors when glueing them in place. I liked the plain card stock in the corners instead of the stamped, so that's how I kept it.
The sentiment is from C&9th too. I cut it three times from yellow card stock and glued them together for dimension. After popping it up on the card, I used some sparkly Crystal Effects to give it some shine. To finish the embellishing, I added some dark blue enamel dots.
Here is the inside. Since I have many birthday cards to make for the next two months, this makes one less to go.
Happy day and happy card! I love your quilted pattern, the pretty patterned paper and the framing in yellow and blue! A fantastic combination! So much fun to see the inside of your card as well. My daughter is a quilter; she'd love a card like this. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
