TCP TUESDAY #120 - Inspiration Challenge

TONI is this week's Hipster Hostess with the Mostess and she's come up with a fun photo for our inspiration challenge. What inspires you about this one? The reds and pinks? The square shapes? For me, I went with the "quilt" theme.

Ages ago I did do a tiny bit of quilting with my mom. We took a class for the Log Cabin pattern. It's always been one of my favorites. So that's what I did here. I love the FLY A KITE pad from October Afternoon. Instead of being too "matchy matchy" or too coordinated, it includes all of these fun kind of vintage-y patterns...perfect for a quilt! I cut my strips and adhered them to some Kraft cardstock and then sewed around the edges of each strip. I love that there's brown mixed in with the more pastel colors and pulled that out with a big bow of SU! wide striped ribbon.

The penguins from the SHIP HAPPENS set have set sea in their teacup. A gingham teacup...what could be finer! I added a felt button using TCP FELT, TCP DIVINE TWINE, and a real button to dress it up. I added a little "pop" of red in the upper right corner with the heart to go with the sentiment...just cut that out by hand for a homemade look.

Get out your TCP stamps and stuff and show us how the photo inspired you. Add the link to your card to the TCP Tuesday post on ALMA'S BLOG so that you can be included in our SWANKY STAMPER contest for the month. Make sure that you use keyword TCPTUES120 when uploading to Splitcoast.
