Lockhart Quilt Stamp
A few month ago, Debbie Olson had this Lockhart 
quilt stamp as a give away to a randomly drawn comment. I was lucky enough to have won the stamp!! I usually don't win things, my husband is generally the "winner" in our family, so I was very excited!!
That week at my card class, our challenge was to use chalks or Stampin' Up pastels. I thought that my newly acquired quilt stamp would look warm with some pastels on it so I pulled it out and gave it a try.
This is the end result. I used all earth element pastels, more mustard, pumpkin pie, ruby red, and glorious green. I then took a button that was a close match with the more mustard and tied a few strands of floss through it and added it to the center of the quilt image. I matted this on some black, then ruby red, then more black cardstock. All of this was placed on a card front of more mustard which I stamped with the Flannel background in more mustard for a subtle and soft background. The finishing touch was some natural colored hemp knotted to the right of the image and the front placed on a black card base. I think it all pulled together quite nicely!
I did not put a sentiment on the outside. I often feel like they should go on the inside. Any comments?? Do you think this card needs a sentiment on the outside?? Are you a card maker who always puts a sentiment on the outside?? or do you sometimes leave the inside to do the talking ?? Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.
