CTD192 - Happy Birthday Mother

It's time for the Color Throwdown Challenge. 

Tammy is our hostess for this week and she's chosen some beautiful colors and a pretty inspiration photo to go along with them.

The card that I created is for a customer of mine who wanted a birthday card for her mother who is a quilter/sewer.  So I attemped to give my card a quilted/sewing theme with quilt squares, sewing pins and buttons. I used the colors from this week's challenge and also used the sketch from the Retro Sketches Challenge #11 for my layout.  I started out my card with a melon mambo card base, stamped the "mother" sentiment from the PTI stamp set Mega Mixed Messages in the lower right corner then stamped the Medallions background.  For the quilt squares I stamped one square using the Rosie Posie stamp set, another using the Daydreamer set with orange flowers and the other two using Bitty Background Blocks with gingham and polka dots.  Then I embossed the squares using two different embossing folders.

Supplies: Rosie Posie & Dies, Bitty Background Blocks & die, Daydreamer, Mega Mixed Messages, Birthday Basics, Medallion background, Filigree border die, Ribbon, Embossing folders, Buttons, Sewing pins, Foam tape.
