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.
