The doctor suggested I pick up some felt at the drugstore. Podiatric felt helps to prevent your shoes from rubbing and blisters forming on your feet. I keep a role next to my shoe rack so it's handy when I want to wear my favorite shoes without worrying about blisters.
Felt is also a great prescription for an ailing card or papercraft project, so this week's challenge from the podiatrist is to use FELT. You can use felt as a background, as a layer behind an image, to help create a scene or as an embellishment. If you don't have any felt embellishments, you can use your die-cut machine and dies to create your own.
Check out what two rock star stampers have done with felt this week:
Jenn Balcer
Heather Nichols
Here's my sample. I kept is simple, adding two felt Hero Arts snowflakes to this holiday card. I love the softness and texture they add to the card.

A GREAT challenge from yet another rock star stamper. Thanks, Mish. I've got to dig and find some felt. I love the write up!

ReplyDeleteHey Mish, I never do felt, but for you anything. I know the colors are really not in the Christmas palette, but it's my LA Christmas card, I guess. Thanks for the challenge.
