Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

Good morning, Papertrey fans!  It has been a few months since I've been able to participate in the Papertrey Blog Hop, so I'm excited to be able to play along today.

This month's challenge is to dust off a set that has yet to see any ink or hasn't been used for a while.  I knew exactly what set that would be for me.  I bought Quilter's Sampler last fall because I love the homespun images and darling sentiments.  But I hadn't managed to create anything with it until now. 

 I kept the coloring simple, choosing just two shades of blue Copic markers and coloring on Rustic White cardstock.  A tip for using this set:  it helps to sketch light pencil lines in a grid pattern before stamping to line up the squares.  

I cut out the quilt block with a Spellbinders Nestie, then added a scalloped square mat die cut from Aqua Mist cardstock.  The block is attached with foam adhesive to the Rustic White base.  I pierced holes around the perimeter and hand stitched with aqua floss, then added two little "X's" on each side of the sentiment.

All supplies from Papertrey Ink unless noted

Cardstock:  Rustic White, Aqua Mist

Stamps:  Quilter's Sampler

Ink:  Inkadinkadoo (Black), Copic markers (BG13, B0000)

Tools:  Spellbinders (square, scalloped square dies)

Accessories:  DMC floss

Here's a look at the inside, too.  I just stamped a row of the quilt squares at the bottom and colored them in.

Thanks so much for hopping by today!  I can't wait to see what other sets everyone has put to use today (thought it will probably cause my wish list to grow even more!).  Have a great day!
