It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge (SSSC138). Karen has given all of us a fun sketch to create with again this week. To be honest when I first saw the sketch with it's diagonal stripes I cringed, but once I got going I actual found it gave a really nice quilted background look. I ended up cutting the strips of my designer paper an 1 1/2" in width from a 6 x 6 paper pad, then I taped them to a sheet of computer paper cut to size, flipped it over and trimmed off the excess (super easy).
As you can see I flipped the sketch in order to use the PTI Garden Variety stamp set with coordinating die. I also desperately wanted to do zig-zag stitching on the seams of my stripped background, but as much as I tried, my sewing machine wasn't having any part of it, it kept tearing holes into my designer paper and jamming (not good).
Supplies: Garden Variety + die, Year of Flowers Collection, Tiny Tags - PTI, MME dp, Seam binding, Button, Twine, Tag punch - SU, Copics, Small circle punch, Foam tape. Colors: Chocolate Chip, Natural, Cajun Craze.
