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.

Freshly Made Sketches #717 and NBUS #82

I'm glad Freshly Made Sketches stretched out challenge #717 for an extra week so I had time to make a card.  

Being a quilt maker and former seamstress, this Spellbinders set called Pins and Needles spoke to me when it went on sale.  I also added the BetterPress set with sentiments and a smaller pair of scissors.  The scissors and needle are cut from matte silver and the floss card from Desert Storm. The stitched background is a Honey Bee coverplate on Teal Topaz cardstock.  I wonder if I should have inked the coverplate with white.  Would it look like it was actually stitched? 

This is also going to Darnell's NBUS challenge.
