This past
week was Nicole’s birthday and I was asked to make a card for her by someone
who bought her a game and wanted the card to match. The game is called Patchwork.
I played it for the first time and it is a lot of fun. At first I wanted the
card to match the game exactly so I tried to find like pattern and colors to
create the card. I have to admit I got a bit frustrated doing this so then I thought
for a moment and realized that I was going about things all wrong. Instead I came
up with an idea to make the card very Nicole like. I picked out patterns that I
thought she would like and used her favorite color. In order to make the card I
just cut a dark purple base to the size card that I wanted. I cut a bunch of
the patterned paper into squares and just laid them out to look like a patchwork
quilt. I moved things around until I got them how I wanted and then glued them
all down added some ribbon and layers in accent colors and I had a card! In the
end card turned out really cool and I was very pleased with it along
with everyone else which made me happy happy happy. I’ve shared a couple
pictures of the card below along with a picture of the game and a link to it.
Enjoy.
