I made this card for our Tickle a Teapotter challenge, "I Love Red." My favorite color! I wanted to see the gallery full of reds for the end of February, the month of love!
I used some velvet papers that I've had for a long time. I cut out the patterned velvet paper card base and then, cut layers with another patterned red velvet paper. I also cut out my rose with red velvet and burgundy velvet papers, which I glued onto my card base, also, gluing additional layers onto card base. I cut out some smaller flowers in red and burgundy velvet and red velvet label die for my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment on cream paper and glued onto red velvet die cut label, which I attached at the bottom of the card. I glued the flowers with small cream beads at top left of card. This card folds flat and fits in a regular A2 envelope.
I hope you'll participate in this month's Teapot Challenge and you'll be thrilled when you receive a special card from another Teapotter!

Oh a totally tactile card! I have one tiny piece of velvet paper - I'll wear it out stroking it before I find a use for it! Too bad the camera can't capture the full effect that I'm sure all that velvet brings to this card.

Oh, I have to agree with Bubbles on this. I, too, have one small piece of red velvet paper but didn't know how to make it work with this challenge for fear of making a wrong cut and wasting the whole piece. This card is superb. Love it and all the red in the gallery.
