Bearlymine Designs Challenge Twentynine - "Patchwork Design"

Good Morning Everyone, well another week has slipped by and weve now reached our twentyninth Challenge here at Bearlymine Designs and for this one we want to see your patchwork designs on your card, and we are being sponsered this week by "Fred She Said"


They are offering a fabulous prize of $20. to spend on their website.

And we were all lucky enough to be able to choose an image to play with and I chose this one,

This image is called "Emma the Skipper" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then used my copics to colour her and a oval Nestabilitie die to cut her out, afterwards I used a Cheery Lynn Swedish Oval diecut to mount her on.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, the backing paper is several pages of the "Spring Blossoms" from Bearlymine Designs and you will find them here, I have cut them all into strips and then woven them into a mat that I then stuck to the blue mount and used my sewing machine with a zigzag stitch to hold it all in place.
The mounted image was then placed to the left of the card and a sentiment has been placed on the right. To finish of I have used two large Daisys and one small in the top left hand corner, these were stuck to the card with three silk leaves underneath them.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pop across to the Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of our very talented Design Team have created for you and hopefully it will inspire you to take part in this "Patchwork Design" Challenge.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

My Birthday and Bloganniversary

This is a stickie and will stay at the top until the 19th November. Please scroll down to find the new posts.

Three years ago on the 19th of November a very dear friend of mine introduced me to blogging, it started in a small way but has steadily over the years got bigger, involving joining many Challenges to start of with then being asked to join Design Teams, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it and would like now to offer some blog candy as a very big thank you to you all, but firstly I have some stipulations, this is for my real followers and not for those who only add their names because they want something for nothing, so I would advise you if thats what you intend to do please dont, because if your not a regular visitor that I know of you wont be eligible to win either one of my two "Surprise Parcels" one is for my "Great Britain" followers and the other for my "Overseas" ones. I will be screening those that join the list suddenly out of the blue and if Im not happy with that entrant they will not win my candy, sorry about that but in the past I have had lots of "fair weather Followers" who only join in the hope of winning something for nothing and then suddenly dissappear as quickly as they appear, Ive even had blogs that only have Blog Candy as their posts and its not fair to those very faithful followers who regularly visit and leave such lovely comments. As its my birthday on the 26th I felt it would be right to combine the two and give the two prizes instead of the usual one, Im not going to tell you whats in them it will be a complete surprise to the winners.
