When I saw the theme for this week's challenge (Eureka Stamps) I knew I wanted to use a quilting theme, and will probably save this for my sister. She is an excellent quilter, and owns several specialized sewing machines to work with. The image is Eureka Heart on a Pendant digi #904, and the sentiment digi 24702. I thought paper piecing would work well with this image. However, because of the patterns included on the heart, I had to use solid colored paper. I am very happy with the result - a dark vanilla and light purple combination. I used a metallic gel pen for the stripes, and to color the tiny flowers. I also colored the bow with the sparkly metallic pen. This was also a great opportunity to use my new Darice Button embossing folder. A strip of embossed faux stitching (Cuttlebug), some washi tape, and Prima flower complete the card. ETA: I should have mentioned I cut out the heart and bow before adhering the pieced sections.
