Emily's Princess Quilt

Here is my layout for the 6th challenge in the Peartree Cutfile - January Online Crop. This is Essie Jane's challenge - to use a cutfile in a different way, so I chose to use the the Hexagon Background file as a stencil.

I made the children each a quilt when they were small, this is Emily and me in the garden with her newly finished quilt. 

This is the cutfile I chose:

I cut this from a 12" x 12" sheet of cardstock I didn't want for anything else, and with repositional tape, I applied it over a sheet of White cardstock. Then with brushes and Distress Oxide Inks, I blended colour to match the quilt, over the whole page.

I sprinkled drops of water over the ink to make it oxidise. Then splattered diluted black and white Distress Ink over the page too.


My title was created with different Bazic Grey alphabet stickers. Then with a fine black pen doodles threads and stitches.


Finally I added gems, pearls, sequins and Nuvo Crystal Drops over the page to embellish.


Here is Essie's original layout:

Thanks for looking - back with more as soon as it's light enough to photograph what I have made!
