I was a little bit slow to try this trend
... now I can say
FELT
is
FUN
I thought that I would combine the texture of felt with chalkboard and Christmas.
I die cut two panels of DCWV All Chalked Up cardstock using the largest Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 39 die. I also cut Winnie &Walter "merry" and Paper Smooches "christmas" from it. Then I took a sponge dauber and inked them as randomly as I could using Brilliance Moonlight White Ink.
I scored the "back" layer of the card 1/2" from the top and adhered it the top layer using Helmar 450 Quick Dry to make it into a fancy shaped top folding card.
Next came the FUN with FELT. I cut two sets of poinsettia flowers and leaves using the Paper Smooches Poinsettia dies. I adhered the flowers using Helmar 450 Quick Dry and added some orange bling to the top layer of petals (I put a tiny dollop of Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue underneath them to give them some extra "sticky" to make sure they were secure).
I adhered the poinsettia in place then positioned the sentiment to fit.
Here is a close-up to show the layers and textures of the felt poinsettia.
Pretty cool, right?

Very festive Christmas card. The poinsettia looks amazing and gives the card a wonderful pop of colour. Love the card shape. I need to give felt a try. Thanks for the inspiration and for playing along with us at Crafty Gals Corner.
