Fabric Flower


Hi, I've been wanting to buy the Tim Holtz tattered flower die for ages, and I finally bought it! I was worried it wouldn't work in my cuttlebug, even though I'd read that it would, and am relieved that it does!

I made this card for a few challenges. At Just Add Ink, the theme is to add fabric to your card.

At Flutterby Wednesday's, your project needs to use a flower, a butterfly and a diecut or punch.

At Simon Says Stamp, the theme is Anything Goes.

At Crafting with Dragonflies, the theme is to create a girly card! 

I die cut some calico flowers and spritzed them with Perfect Pearls mist in both gold and perfect pearl colours. I dried the flowers with my heat gun, then dabbed on some distress ink in Victorian Velvet & Worn Lipstick.

The Memory Box butterfly was cut from a piece of gold shimmery cardstock. It was dabbed with the same distress inks.

The leaves are from Stampin Up's Bird Builder punch (borrowed from my sister's friend, thanks Amanda :)

Materials used: Sizzix embossing folder; Tim Holtz tattered flowers die; memory Box butterfly die; Stampin Up punch; distress inks, bling & sentiment sticker from stash.

Thanks for visiting :)

    Great card, and goodness, you were able to get it in a lot of challenges! I admire you for all the work involved with these challenges. Love what you did with the tattered flower. It surely does make a pretty posey. Great card. I love the added fabric. Gotta try that one of these days. (I was a quilter/fabraholic in my other life TFS & Hugs

    That fabric flower is just lovely, Cathy. The shimmery fabric looks great against the rustic, embossed background. Lovely to have you join us at Just Add Ink this week!

    Lovely card Cathy. I like your fabric flower - and really like your back ground card - it reminds me of a waffle. Chantell JAI
