Blossom

Inspired by a beautiful one foot square quilted wall hanging that my friend Barb made for me, I had fun replicating her design in paper . . .

 The echinacea petals were cut out with oval dies.  The background shows I had a good time with Distress Stains along with some spattered gesso, and the flower is more of the same Distress colors, only lighter for contrast.  The stitched dies suggest a quilter's inspiration, which is just what I was after.  Thanks, Barb!
