I was going to run errands but it started snowing, so I figured I'd give today's challenge a second go-round. I love the idea of using fabric in a card!
I needed a birthday card for my 7-year-old son to give to our neighbor girl and her party is on Saturday. The birthday girl is obsessed with snakes, so I thought this would make a great card for her. I've had this image for a while, but finally got around to inking it up. Anyway, my son should like giving this card, since it isn't too girly.
To make this card I used today's Ways to Use It Challenge: Textiles (WT255) and this week's Sketch SC265. The background is a piece of purple fancy calico. I've always wanted to use it for something but could never quite find the right thing. I stitched it to my card base with my sewing machine.
Thanks for looking!

I LOVE how you combined the floral with the green gingham. I will have to try that -- I usually stick with red or black gingham. Your card is fresh and pretty!
