Friends Are Like Quilts

Hello!  Time for another Great Impressions card for you.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the D266 Give Comfort sentiment, especially since we're moving into Autumn.

I took my PTI hexagon die plate and first cut it out in cream cardstock before adhering it to Scor-Tape.  This is so much easier than individually gluing on the hexagons.  Next I die cut a bunch of coordinating My Mind's Eye and Miss Caroline papers then randomly placed them.  Here's a tip:  as long you don't press hard on the Scor-Tape, you can gently remove the designer paper and reposition it if necessary.  I did that in a couple of spots when I changed my mind about placement.

Now I've included a pic of the resulting "quilt" without embossing.  This is when I should have stamped the sentiment but I was so eager to emboss I completely forgot--LOL.  It turned out fine using the MISTI to stamp the sentiment a couple of times.  I love how this turned out.  The texture is amazing.  If only it were this easy to make a quilt in a real life!

See you next week with another GI design!  Toni
