Hi everyone! Here is my card for this weeks Limited Supply Challenge229. My High School Colors were blue and red. A while back for the sketch challenge, Rox did a card with a quilt design background, and gave us the instructions. I liked it so well I tried it that week but I'm giving it another go this week, and here is the result. The small image inside the Martha Srewart fence frame was colored with prisma's and gamsol. I hand stitched this card as well as the one prior, but in the future I think I'll just do the faux stitching.

Great job, Mel! I love the stitching, and I just knew you had done it by hand. I think the faux stitching is so much easier, but it sure has a different look! I love this quilt, and of course the RED and blue!

Love this wonderful card and your "real" stitches look great. How cool to do in your high school colors.
