seasonal layers – Melissa's Kre8tions

I come from a very crafty family. My mother has been sewing and quilting ever since I can remember. I love this card because the embossing folder is a quilt-top. I added some faux stitching to the bottom of the scalloped edge to give it a little more quilt-y love. The light distressing gives it an antique feel.

I really like how simple this card is, and the flourish really makes this card stand out from others. It would also be beautiful without the flourish and to just let the embossing folder really shine on its own with a simple sentiment on the bottom of the card.

Measurements:

Cardbase: 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored @ 5-1/2″
Mat: 4″ x 5″
Scrap: Large enough for flourish

I wanted to replicate a pattern on my leggings, but didn’t have the poinsettia punch so I improvised! It’s a bit of a mish-mash, but I think for what I had on hand it came out pretty well. I used a LOT of different framelits and thinlits to get this beautiful Christmas flower, so be sure to check below for all the materials used.

I love finding inspiration for my cards in unexpected places, and I think finding inspiration from a clothing item is so awesome! It’s a color combination that I would have NEVER put together myself, so I’m glad I got out of my comfort bubble to give this a go!
