Pulling out some fabric

The sketch at Unscripted sketches for this week has a piggyback challenge to it - use fabric on your project. 

Now I buy fabric to use on cards because I absolutely love walking through quilt stores but then I tend to just put them away and not make the effort to make them work. This week was the week to pull out one of those pieces that is covered with little tea pots. 

Here is a close-up of the little tea pot that I cut out of the fabric piece.  I needed to decide how I was going to attach this to my card so I tried something new. I applied some Mod Podge to a piece of white cardstock and then pressed the cut out tea pot over the paper. I gently pressed the two together. Let me tell you, this worked PERFECT! It stiffened the fabric just right. I added it to my card with Scrap Dots by Helmar.  I added a small piece of rose ribbon to one of the sections of my card and so I had different levels. The Scrap Dots is like thick glue and it allows you to add something that has dimension similar to pop dots.

This is my Card Postioning Systems card for this week.  The scallop circle piece is cut from a piece of We R Memory Keepers paper, just right to fit the sketch. 

I used a little shaped label by K&Co and added a little bit of extra color to it with stamp pads. The flower is one of my newest purchases, a Prima flower.

Now for some pics...

We were in Oregon recently and when we are close enough, we always have to take a little trip to see Multnomah Falls. That spot is just gorgeous any  time of the year.  It was COLD and I was surprised at how much of the water coming down the falls was frozen. What a beautiful sight.

 All of that white is frozen water. 

 There was a smaller creek and I loved how many icicles I found.

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
