Thinking of You Today

Hey out there! How are you all doing? I'm getting a little tired. I have lots to do with lots of deadlines (all craft related) and must be done by Sunday. I'm in the studio working double-time! I hope I have more juice tomorrow to get a lot accomplished. I'm so glad I recorded two videos because I can now get my DH to edit it! :)

OK...anyway, this card was inspired by my fascination with fabric! I created fabric flowers by winding strips, but this time I wanted to hand-cut some. It's just that simple. I suggest drawing the flower on the reverse side of the fabric, then cut it out. I tried to cut without a sketch and that DID NOT work for me! :) I thought of the idea of using ribbon as stems/leaves and really like it! I'm sure I'm not the first to use this idea, but it's neat anyway! I roughed up everything because the fabric frays and I wanted to keep the style cohesive.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with a Mother's Day + Loonie Stamper's Challenge inspired Watch Me Wednesday.
