DCM - Get Felty

It’s Nat’s turn to set the challenge this week over at the Daring Cardmakers and she’s challenging us to use some felt on our cards.  You can use felt to make your own handmade embellishments (even include some threading and beading if you're feeling energetic), use some pre-made felties, or even raid the accessories sale bins for something unique to add to your project!

And if you're still stuck for ideas, why not check out the felty ideas on Pinterest!  As always, my teamies on the Design Team have come up with some gorgeous cards so pop over and have a look at those – sure to give you some inspiration to join us!

Here’s my card.  After an initial panic that my felt was back at home in the Midlands, I found a bag of some lovely felt I’d forgotten about.  It’s quite thick as you can see from the second pic, but it made a really nice flower when cut with my Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die. 

 

Other things I’ve used on my card are: Pink Petticoat paper, tea-stained seam binding, Papertrey heart cut-out die, Papertrey thank you stamp, Nellie and nestie dies, a vintage button and some flat-back pearls.

love the felt flower especially the way you have layered it. Also the backing paper is so pretty-a kind of vintage look to it-is this the Punk Petticoat paper you mention?

I think it's just lovely, and any excuse for using those tiny tags! I think I am going to be using them a lot on Christmas cards. :) Oh and I am most jealous of your pretty new storage!

Sharon, this card is fantastic! I love the soft pastel layered flower - it is so cute. I think I will need to visit Papertray :0)
