SSS Just for You Blog Hop, More Quilted

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.


Happy Saturday!  Today I'm participating in Day 2 of Simon Says Stamp's Just for You blog hop.  You should have arrived here from Mindy Eggen's blog, but I've got the full hop list below in case you need it.

As with every good hop, there are prizes to be had.  One commenter from each stop along the blog will win $25 to spend in the Simon store, and everyone wins with the code GREEN this weekend which will take $7 off any order $40 or more.

I'm sharing three cards today featuring my Quilted background.  This is a really fun background to color because you create so many different looks.  For my first card, I colored the pattern with Copics as a series of alternating squares.  I used B00, B000, BG02, and BG05 for the bluer blues, and BG10, BG11, BG13, and BG32 for the greener blues.


The colored panel was trimmed down and matted with some turquoise cardstock, and I finished things off with a sentiment from the Clean Line Stacks set which was stamped, die cut, and then popped up with foam tape.  I did also add a second die cut which was just slightly offset to make the sentiment pop a bit more.


For this next card, the background was colored with kind of a woven look.  I used  R24, R29, B02, and B05 for the primary design, and N0 and N1 to soften the squares.


The sentiment is from the Reverse Yay sentiment strips and was popped up with foam tape.


For my last card, I used YG05 and Y06 to olor the triangles and parallelograms and N9 and N7 for the squares.  I was trying to play up the pinwheel shapes in the design, so I went in with my C2 marker to trace around those for emphasis.


This time, I trimmed the panel down along the diagonal and popped that piece up with foam tape over a white panel stamped with the sentiment, from the Yay You set.

Your next stop on the hop is Anna-Karin Evaldsson and I have the full list below if you need it.

Happy hopping!
