This is my card for the IC481 challenge "Inchies." We were directed to an amazing Pinterest site featuring fabulous fabric inchies. I chose this inchie for inspiration.
I die cut the flowerand leaves from white felt, rolled the flower and colored the leaves with Spectrum Noir pens. The frame and the "hello" were cut from Turquoise felt, the felt for the word was backed with Stick It prior to die cutting. A matching size lacy square, "hello", and the card front were cut from polka dot paper; the paper for the word diecut was backed with Stick It, also.
I cut the white layer and a strip of striped paper from the same paper pad as the polka dot, and assembled the card. The flower looked a bit plain, so I used a 1/4" hole punch to make a center out of the turquoise felt.
As always, thanks for looking!

FELT!!!! You used FELT!!! How smokes, Jody, you're making beauties with felt and I am playing around with GRASS (will be in my gallery soon, I hope- last week's teaparty, and it is LATE!)
Love your little bloom and the turquoise frame! The repetition of the DP from your layer to the center of your frame really looks fantastic and carries the color of the back layer wonderfully!!!! Way to go!!

Jody, a beautiful card and in keeping with the Pinterest Board being a fiber art....so is your card with the use of felt. Your flower is gorgeous and its petals look like a real gardenia. TFS how you created the entire card. Outstanding!!

When I first saw this card - I thought you used felt fabric on the squares, flowers and hello -- but it says paper. Just another perfect example of a creative - fabulous work of art!
