My First Quilt Pattern Card!

I was fiddling around with some wee pieces of scraps and it ended  up looking like a quilt pattern.  I was pretty amazed myself it really didn't take me that long to put it together... I guess because I had all those wee pieces already pre-cut and they were just sitting in a little container... I try to salvage what ever I can from my scraps so I don't waste paper.. LOL!  Well I decided to turn this into a baby's card just in case if anyone in the family needs one.  I got this free image from Free Digital but did not jot down who the illustrator was and the sentiment was computer generated, used my copic markers and stickles for the wee cow, button on my pattern, rhinestones and ribbon from American Crafts.




Well I think I'm going to try and do another one like this, at least I can use my first card as a pattern. I'm pretty impressed!
Anyhoo~ weekend is already here, have a safe weekend!

Many hugs~
