Quilted Top Note technique

I have seen several cards like this before, so I had to try my own. I punched out several squares from my candy cane dsp, then glued them down in a checker hoard pattern to a 1/4 sheet of whisper white. I flipped it over and cut it out with my Top Note die.


I stamped the real red cardstock, and
Added a few more details like another square, and the real red 5/8" grosgrain Ribbon. I piped the top note.

I could have added some white pen faux stitching or done some actual stitching with a Zig zag stitch on the card itself.
