Helloooooo!! Yee-haw! I'm sooo excited! I picked up fabulous FELT this past weekend at the Impress annual stamp sale. Now I can embellish my cards with FELT galore!! Wahoo!!
Anyhoo, this card is for the ATS Wed distressing challenge. I used Mercy's sketch from the week before for the layout.
The little girl featured here is Swiss Miss Rosalie, one of my fave C.C. Designs images. I thought she'd be a perfect fit for the distressing challenge as distressing seems to convey "vintage-ness" and she looks like she could be from "the olden days". hehe...
I used an old Memory Box DP set and Cuttlebugged the circles/scalloped circles and tag. Then I sponged on VersaMagic Gingerbread ink for the "distressing" part. I actually also meant to sponge the DP but due to "fluffiness" of mind, I forgot and glued it onto the white paper mount before remembering that I was supposed to sponge it. Doh!
BTW, do you see the felt flower??? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I LOVE IT!! It was cut using Nesties Blossom set and just seems to add so much more depth and dimension to the card. I first took notice of felt from PaperTreyInk, but hadn't bought any yet. Then, when I went to Impress, they were showcasing the Cuttlebug and cutting out felt flowers and totally sold me on it.
Hehe...and a funny story from that visit...Impress only had brown and white felt out, but the display card showed mauve felt. Jamie and I asked if they had the mauve felt, but the girl said no...so we sadly wandered off to look around the rest of the store. 3 minutes later, the girl came up to us with 4 rolls of mauve felt and said, "Oh, here we are!!" Squealing, we each snagged a roll. Dude, they are such enablers. hehe... BUT - Happiness was achieved...
