Inkspirational #365 and NBUS #85

There's a sketch challenge at Inkspirational and a new to me die seemed perfect for it.  What do you think? 


I ordered the Waffle Flower Quilt Frames not realizing I got two little quilt square dies along with the frames.  I'm actually working on a fabric quilt right now so it wasn't a big jump to make one from paper.  All of the patterned papers were scraps from my stash.  The background is SB Tuscan embossed with a coverplate from WF that I thought looked like quilt stitching.  I don't often add embellishments to my cards but the sketch has some so I pulled out these ancient flower sequins from SSS and added them around the sentiment from The Ton.  

It's the first use of this die so off my card goes to Darnell's NBUS. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a big of your day with me.

    As soon as I saw this, I knew it was for the Ink challenge, Bobby! You nailed it and how you managed to make your paper look like real fabric is fascinating! Great background cover plate and bling choices, too. Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

    I just adore this. What a fabulous take on the challenge, and I covet that die set. It's out of stock over at Simon. I asked to be notified, your card is so stinkin' fun.

    Love your card Bobby. Your little "quilt" squares are perfect and I love that background and the color. Would love to see your finished quilt you are working on also.

    What a wonderful quilt die, Bobby, and I love the DP patterns and colors you used on the squares - a great way to use up those tiny bits of DP! Your embossed background is also like quilted stitching and is the perfect backdrop for the quilt squares! Thank you so much for joining us at Inkspirational:Visual Prompt! Julia xx

    Bobby, your mini quilt dies have mega impact. So incredibly pretty! I have this quilt collection and haven't even touched those small dies as you. You've certainly given me incentive to do so. Thank you so much for joining us at Inkspirational.
