What a smart idea! I love the quilted look!
Anne Hartschlag says
I really like the quilted look that you created. I am going to have to try this today. I make cards for Operation Write Home and we are limited with the size of the embelishments we can use so this type of texture fills the bill. You never cease to amaze me with your designs and techniques.

This is such a great technique. I’m a quilter and never thought of using an impression on the card to represent quilting. Way to go Dawn!

I’m in love with this collection and the ideas you have inspired us with. The 15th is so far a way! I want it all today.

FYI this fabulous technique uses cover (or die) plates NOT impression plates. I did try using an impression plate and the results were pretty faint/subtle.
