Happy Everything
Today’s sample was created for two challenges - one challenge was for Caardvarks (even got it in on time). The challenge was to use felt. Well if you know me at all I really don’t use fabric on my projects except for ribbon, ribbon, or ribbon. At first I wasn’t going to participate but found these awesome felt flowers (American Crafts-Greenhouse) at Archivers for 50% off -what the heck - I liked to colors too. Took them home and matched them up with Chatterbox paper and ribbons. Now how to attach to the card??? Well, again if you know me I don’t sew - except on occasion for papercraft projects - the solution was French knots where I used Scrapworks waxed flax for the stitch. Sentiment stamped with Stampin Up and dark brown ink.
The second challenge was for a design team - the card I sent them didn’t have the sentiment…. ooops I forgot… oh well. Enjoy and Happy Everything!

Adorable, as always!!
This “happy everything!” stamp from SU! is one of my very favorites of all time. Glad to see you got some stamping done while you were at jury duty! hehe
Talk to you soon!

Very cool card. I shy away from felt, fabric and sewing. I don’t even know how one would make a french knot! LOL However you did it, you managed to make those neglected clearance flowers look so trendy!
