Crazy Quilt

Hi everyone. 

It is time once again for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. Thank you again to everyone who joined our last challenge. Using just 3 colors was tricky, but 3 colors was the challenge theme. Some of you got a little enthused about colors, and although I get it, can't be included in the choice for top 5. Before I forget, let me also thank Rosi who was our guest designer for that challenge.

It's time once again for another 2 week challenge, and this time our challenge is 

Pretty Papers

I decided to use some nautical papers that I have and that I like for this challenge. To showcase them I tore them into pieces and created a paper crazy quilt. After the glue dried on my paper, I used  my sewing machine to stitch around most of them,  and just like in a real crazy quilt you have odd shaped pieces of fabric that are usually top stitched.

I die cut a lot of images to add to my page.  Some of those images I left the color of the paper, but a couple of them I colored with paint or markers. The words along the bottoms were stenciled on with a black Sharpie.

I also wanted a bit of bling on my page, so I used some sequins to create the water that the ship is sailing on.

This challenge runs for the next 2 weeks, and all kinds of art is accepted. Just showcase some pretty paper in your art.

I hope you're feeling inspired by pretty papers and join us for this challenge.
