I've told you I'm slow getting into trends. I don't suppose felt is considered trendy now, but when I first started seeing it used in my magazines I really didn't like it.
Finally decided it would be good for winter cards (snowflakes, trees) & now would you believe I have a pretty large collection of MFT felt which I often use for flowers & leaves as with today's card for the MFT Color Palette Challenge & Freshly Made Sketches.
I used MFT dies: Dizzy Doily & Hibiscus along with the Tag You're It & Peaceful Wildflowers stamp sets. My kraft panel is the debossed side using a Cuttlebug folder. I attached the 2 flowers to each other with foam tape & added a yellow pearl to the center.
I'll also add this to SSS Wednesday pearl challenge. Thanks so much for taking time to check my card.
LOVE that blue flower and this pretty card, Greta! I'm with you on the trendy situation. I still don't like the chalkboard stuff and probably will never do anything using it. Guess I'm just an OLD stick in the mud. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove your felt flowers, Greta! I'm afraid I am not up to date on trends ...I do what makes me happy! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I love that swirl kraft piece and the flowers and leaves are gorgeous. Greta, I wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the Liebster Award! You can check it out on my blog: http://onesmileliftsaspirit.blogspot.com/2014/02/liebster-award.html.

ReplyDeletewell if felt is not a current trend, your card will be the one to bring it back! I love my felt but I have to admit I never really think to pull it out. Thank you for the inspiration, your card is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the embellishment cluster that you make with the dies! Felt is fabulous! I definitely need to keep that in mind. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

ReplyDeleteI think you work magic with felt, so even if it is or isn't a 'trend', in your hands it will always be showcased beautifully. Your flower cluster here is evidence of this! Gorgeous!! Hugs~c
