Creative Belli Challenge #111

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. It's time for another Creative Belli Challenge. This one is such fun I am sure you will all want to play along. We are asking you to use felt or fabric on your creation.

Look in your stash and see what you have in there. After all that is what the Belli challenges are all about. We want to you use your old and forgotten embellishments. Be creative- use felt backdrop, shape it into a flower or an animal, you name it! If you do not have felt, use fabric- think old towel, flannel, etc.......


Everyone is welcome to play along! If you upload to a gallery use keyword CBC111

Here's how to enter:

Please link back to the Belli Challenge in your post and provide a direct link to your new posting dated between February 16- March 1st. My design team sisters have some fabby samples to insprie you. Click Here to see their awesome work.

I found this fabric pin that I bought about 8 years ago in a fabric store in Berlin, Ohio. My intent was to use it on a card. I just didn't realize it would take me this long to do it (lol)!!

I took the pin off the back because I am going to send this card to my best friend. I didn't think she would wear it because I know I wouldn't. But, I love the look of it on this card.

My colors are from the Tuesday splitcoaststampers color challenge. This week, our hostess, is Peggy McCurry,
She chose wild wasabi, so saffron and pacific point. I liked working with this combo.

My designer paper is from Cosmo Cricket's "sew much more collection". The ribbon is Stampin-Up's so saffron grosgrain.

I used a sizzlits die to punch out the buttons. This is where I used the pacific point color.

The layout is from the sweet stop sketch blog. This was a great layout to use my fabric embellishment. The 3 rhinestones at the bottom finished off this card.

A few other challenges:

1.  The ooh la la blog wants us to make a card for someone special. This one is for my best friend.

2.  The desert islands crafters blog wanted us to use 3 items from their list. I chose: buttons, 1 patterned paper and the word friend on your card.

3.  The top tip Tuesday blog wants us to use stitching on our card. My fabric embellishment is stitched together.

So until next time.......

card recipe:
stamps: wordsworth tiny phrases
paper: su garden green, so saffron, pacific point
accessories: sizzix sizzlits die, ribbon, hero arts rhinestones, fabric embellishment
