SU-Only Challenge 24

For this "Get Well" challenge, I decided to use Clearly for You from the Mini Catalogue to create a patchwork effect.

The set lends itself beautifully to this because of its delicate images.  The background stamp is so intricate.

I decided to go (almost) monotone with this one simply because of the number of images used.  Crumb Cake gives a subtlety to the images and I've used Soft Suede for the background stamp.

I used the Spritz tool with Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker to give a slightly smudged appearance.  The patchwork squares were punched out with the 13/8" square. 
Finally, using Fun Flowers Bigz L die for the Big Shot, I create the embellishment with Crumb Cake DSP.  The bone folder is perfect for turning up the petals.  The sentiment comes from Sincere Saluations.

Stamp Set:  Clearly for You (Mini p22 £17.94/£22.95)
Punch: 13/8" Square (IBC p106 £15.50)
Die: Big Shot (Mini p6 £87.95) & Fun Flowers (Mini p7 £28.95)
