Blue Frame Quilt on Blue

I enjoyed making an anniversary card with a quilt block in muted colors. It's the same design as this card.

Added Oct. 30, 2023: Another color combination is posted here.

Card details:

Card stock is Paper Source lake (large blue center heart) and Papertrey Ink (PTI) enchanted evening (dark blue), blueberry sky (blue card base), and stamper's select white.
Patterned papers are terra cotta tile (rusty red) gingham and pinefeather (dark green) stripe print from PTI pattern packs (tone-on-tone prints - retired) and two "petite scale" leaf prints from PTI tea leaves 8x8" pack.
Dies are PTI county fair quilt block (no longer available), PTI photo finish strips (retired), PTI heart prints (small center heart - retired), Avery Elle icon fill in the blank (large center heart), and Elizabeth Craft love (retired).
The blue card stock is embossed with the PTI infinity frames die.
On the inside (not shown), the script sentiment "happy anniversary" is from Hero Arts everyday sayings (retired), stamped with PTI enchanted evening ink.

Operation: Quiet Comfort

Starting in early 2016, most of my cards are now made for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
As explained on their web site, "Operation Quiet Comfort exists solely for the purpose of honoring and comforting America’s military men and women who become sick and injured while serving in harm’s way. We also provide support to those who care for them. We collect, package and ship supplies for U.S. Military men and women receiving care at medical facilities abroad." These packages also include cards with messages of support and encouragement ... "thinking of you, patriotic, thank you, cheerful cards." I'm happy to have the opportunity to support our troops in this way.

About My Cards and My Blog

Unless noted otherwise, all my cards are A2 size - 4.25 x 5.5" when folded.

I was making cards long before I started stamping, so for my card images, I sometimes will do my own line drawing, then color it with markers. To use it multiple times, I scan it before coloring, then computer-print it. For more on my drawing process, see "How I Draw," and also "Anybody Can Draw."

I use Copic markers (I prefer "original" and also have some of the "sketch" type), Copic multiliner pens, and the Copic airbrush (airbrushing with my markers). See "About My Tools and Materials" for my Copic colors and other tools, materials, supplies and sources. Techniques and materials may also be noted in the blog post.

I will post a few times a month, whenever I have a new card to share. For cards before 2012, the date on the post is the approximate date of the card, not always the posting date. Reference posts like "About My Labels" are filed together as 1973, but are much newer.

See "Blog Help" if you have problems with viewing or printing.

Unless otherwise noted in the blog post, this is my original creative work. All of my cards, drawings and text are copyright, and are shared only for your personal, non-commercial use and enjoyment. Copyright © CPOvermyer 2009-2024.
