The Card Chain Challenge

I am back to playing in the card chain challenge; this month my card goes to Dawn in New Zealand.  I am trying out something a little different. The challenge I chose was to use the colors - sky blue, navy blue and red.  I happened to have some fabric roses that perfectly fit those colors.



The fabric is attached to sticker paper, this stops the edges from fraying.  Then the images in the fabric I want to use are cut out.  Next, I arranged my bouquet, popped some  press and seal on so it stayed in place while I turned it over to apply adhesive.  I mounted it on an ivory color card base as that matches the fabric background best.  I decided on a bold die cut sentiment in a matching red cardstock. The die is layered 4 times from some light weight cardstock.  I am pleased with the results.  I do have a handful of more floral patterned fabric squares, so you'll be seeing more of these in the future.

Thanks much for stopping by!

Put me on the list for one of these--haha! Your card jumped out at me in the reveal post--a true wowzer, my friend! My JoAnn's is very small, but they do have fabric. I'm going to be on the lookout for fabric to die cut--thanks for the inspiration!
