Hawaiian Quilt Card

Aloha!

Today I wanted to share a Hawaiian themed card that I made the other day.  When I was shopping around the local craft/stamp stores last month, I came across a fun stamp of a Hawaiian quilt.  I'm not sure if you've ever seen a Hawaiian quilt in person, but they're absolutely beautiful and have a very distinctive look about them.  A typical quilt has a symmetric botanical pattern that appliquéd onto a white background.  I'd love to buy one at some point, but, for now, the quilt stamp is a bit more in my budget ;)  


I stamped the image in soft apricot shadow ink (Hero Arts) and mounted the panel on black cardstock.  I wanted a matching strip of cardstock, so I smeared the ink on the strip and let it dry.  After that, I stamped the sentiment on both the card base and cardstock strip and adhered everything together.  Very simple! 


Thanks so much for visiting today!  Hope to see you back soon!
