Stempel Spass

No-Sew Quilted Cards is the theme at  Make it Monday this week. I have not played there in a while.... The talented  Dawn McVey has a cool video, showing us how to do that.   I first had to research quilting patterns to find something I liked...... Not really my usual style, but I really like the result of it!  I first cut myself some triangles from My Minds Eye patterned paper, glued it onto white card stock and then ran it through my Big Shot using the Papertrey Quatrefoil  die as embossing folder.  The sentiment is  - how cool is that - designed by Dawn as well -  from the Papertrey Signature series -Flower, the wood cut is from Michaels. The card really looks like a quilt! Amazing! Thanks, Dawn!

Life is good - I have 2 new members, who joined my blog - yeahhh! I am always so excited when I see somebody new!  HELLO and WELCOME Penny and  Kristie I hope you continue to like the cards I make and come by and visit! (I of course had to visit their blogs -both are linked - and wow - what fun and creative cards I discovered there! ) I have a welcome picture for you: It is from the African artist  El Anatsui , which creates these stunning pieces out of scrap metal, such as liquor bottle caps. I recently discovered him in the Newark Museum and showed the piece of art from there in a previous blog post . Funny, that there is now an exhibit of quite a few of his pieces in the Brooklyn Museum. Of course I had to go there and look at them. It is very impressive and definitively  worthwhile   to  see. Perhaps you like it too.  --X-- Time to play again ! Thanks to  Kelly  - the queen of Quatrefoil ...
