Q is for Quote

Hello friends!  I hope that all of U.S. friends celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I have a couple of scheduled posts while I’m away for today and tomorrow.  It’s a busy time of the year and I’ll try to keep up with my “blog duties” the best I can.

Today is a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!  Our next letter is “Q”, and this time it was my turn to pick a theme with this letter and I’ve chosen “Quote”   I hope you will join in the fun with us!  *Please remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter.*  Here’s the project I’ve made for this challenge:

I’ve always loved using quotes for things and you can catch me with my kids saying quotes from movies all of the time.  We can say a quote and know exactly where it came from.  Some people don’t understand what we’re talking about which makes it even funnier!😉

I’ve pulled out a Catherine Pooler stamp set called “Notable & Quotable” that I don’t remember where I purchased it from, but I fell in love with the quotes in it.  It also came with the flower images in the set too.

For the background, I used a My Favorite Things “abstract” stencil and blended over it with several different colors.  I then took a couple of the floral images from the stamp set and stamped over the stenciled “blobs”.  I then white heat embossed one of the quotes from the stamp set and cut it out with a stitched oval die and then layered another stitched oval vellum layer behind it.  I popped it up with foam tape over the center of the background and then attached the entire layer over a white top folding A2 card base.  Lastly, I added some clear sequins with Stickles in the center of each one.

  • Thanks so much for stopping in today!  I hope you like my card and will come join in the fun with us!  I’ll be back again tomorrow with my monthly Art Journal Page!
