Hi! The Indian Craft Room is back! ICR was the one of the first challenge blogs that I started following and holds a very special place in my heart! The ICR challenges are back and I HAD to participate!
The first challenge is interesting with a great story board for inspiration.
I decided to take my love for quilting & sewing and adapt it to paper. I started with a bunch of rectangles sized 1" x 2". I folded them and started layering them to form the Somerset Star, a traditional folded star quilting pattern from the UK. I used this great tutorial by Janet Kan who blogs at Stitch n Sing.
The challenge says use more than three triangles. I ended up using a lot more. Well, 40 triangles to be precise!
Rest of the card was easy. I used some dark brown cardstock. The sentiment is from the Deck The Halls Tobie set by Some Odd Girl Stamps which I won as part of blog candy by Simon Says Stamp. I heat embossed it and add two scored lines for some definition.
Here is a close up of the beautiful Somerset Star.
I am entering this in the Indian Craft Room's ICRCAUT01 challenge.
Also entering it in Beyond Grey Challenges BGC #72 - Anything Goes.
Love,
Nandini
