somethin new

My sister sends me gift packs of goodies on a regular basis, sometimes a little envelope others a beeeg one.
Sometimes she will send me something and I will think hmmmmm, now how can i use this.
But there always seems to come an occasion where I see a card or a challenge and I go scrabbling through my craft cupboards for that unused 'something"


The point of this bit of waffle is that while cruising the blogs this morning I came across a stunning card at Dana's blog with a link to a utube video on how to make the flowers she used on her card. 
 The tutorial showed how to make a felt flower and I said- hold on just a minute Dawn sent me some felt and ........ so I made a quite sweet felt flower , my first -and soooo easy to make.(although i did have some difficulty gluing it as the felt seems to gobble up the glue.)


Usually I photograph my work and then crop it afterwards and as I couldn't find my stand decided to use a plate. When I walked outside to take my photo Chuck the hungry staffie thought I was bringing him a snack and my card was almost devoured!


I decided not to crop it this time as I thought it looked quite good as is, plate and all.
I have used the Hero arts flourishes stamp set compliments of little sister ,as is the felt as is the ribbon and the little metal bud on it.
