Hugs for Lindsay

What a fun combination of Cards for a Cause Challenges over on Split Coast - For this weeks Teaparty Challenge we have to show up Aquilta the Hun with our quilting prowess and for the color challenge we need to use green, blue and raspberry.

AND this month we are sending our cards (if they are pretty enough!) to Lindsay, a young mother-to-be who has been diagnosed with cancer and needs our prayers and encouragement. Some great reason to make a card huh?!

I made my plaid pattern paper using one of the stamps from Off Beat Backgrounds and the hearts and sentiment are from Sewing Box Hugs both by Waltzingmouse Stamps. The sentiment frame is Spellbinders Fancy tags but I cut the fleur de lis ends off as they were too fancy for this homespun quilt card!

I sewed around the circle twice and sponged all the edges with So Saffron Ink. The heart stamps already have the stitches on them so that part was easy peasy!!

And I tucked in another challenge here - the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World! whooo hoo!!! This was the picture to inspire us.
Thanks Cindy for inspiring us to be conscientious card makers!
