Tuesday Trigger…
I promised to share something creative and crafting related and here it is! I decided to play along with this week’s Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World. I love the distressed quilt with the frayed edges and the three little tabs are perfect!
It reminded me of this layout I created for a class at Precious Memories:
I also had to create a couple of teacher thank you cards for Kyle’s preschool teachers so I thought I would do both at the same time ;D I created two slightly simplified versions and a third for the challenge that has a few “extras”.
I wanted to create texture by distressing the edges of each square, but I also wanted to create depth. I cut each square 1/4 inch bigger than I needed, then scored 1/8 of an inch into each square. I cut out the corners where the score lines intersected and then distressed. When I was done I was able to push each side up creating the depth I was looking for and the illusion that the “quilt” has been sewn together with the frayed edges out. I added three tabs with ribbon and a couple of buttons with some of my extensive collection of embroidery floss ;D I stamped the sentiment before adding the square to the card.
Here are a couple other views so you can see the depth:
Thanks for looking!
