My card is for the WT293 Challenge to use fabric on our card and today's F4A35 to make a flap card.
I have had this fabric by my sewing machine just waiting for the right time to use (have several pieces like that) it on a card. I ironed a piece to Heat 'n Bond, cut out with pinking shears and ironed to a piece of More Mustard cardstock. Since I was making a flap card I just used a single piece of Really rust for the base so my card wouldn't be so thick and heavy. I stamped Happy Blessings on watecolor paper using Stazon Saddle Brown ink and watercolored with ink pads using an aquapainter. Distressed all edges and used More Mustard around the image panel edges. The sentiment inside the flap 'cardlet' was cut out using the round and scallop punches. Added some orange buttons after discarding ribbon ideas.

Hey, I have that exact same fabric (*somewhere* in my stash)!! Heat 'n Bond?? Now why didn't *I* think of that?? I'm always trying to stick down my fabric with adhesive just long enough to stitch it to my card, but it always ends up shifting. Doing an iron on would totally fix that!!! Thanks for the great idea This card is just adorable. Love the distressing and great fall colors. Super job with your flap!
