Over at Keryn's Card there is a weekly NZ challenge to make a Christmas card inspired by one that she creates and this week it is a quilted top note card. Seeing as I've never actually made one of these 'quilted' cards I thought I'd just do a very similar one to the one Keryn made. I managed to find three pieces of Christmas paper in my stash and as I don't have a square punch I cut them into 1-inch pieces. I also felt I needed a bit more variety so made up my own 'pretty paper' with some vanilla cardstock and Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ink.
In hindsight I shouldn't have run it through with the embossing folder as it opened up the 'seams' a little, but nothing a bit of ribbon won't cover!
I am also entering this card in a couple of other challenges:
365 Cards which asked for a colour combo of green, dark red and dark purple (which I have not used - sorry!)
Charisma Cardz Challenges - Anything goes.

And after I finished the card the kids and I went out for a walk, enjoying the lovely weather we had today!

Thanks so much for entering the challenge Frances. Good Luck with the draw. I like the smaller squares. I will have to try that myself.
