Fabric & Folk

Hey everyone! I don't even want to tell you how long it took me to finish this card. (And don't tell my hubby!) I wanted to participate in the SCS 'Ways to Use It' challenge today... which was to incorporate textiles in your paper crafting projects.

I found this CUTE Cricut cartridge called Paisley, which contains several Matryoshka doll images. I heard that you can cut fabric using the Cricut machine & I thought I'd make a fabric nesting doll... lickity split! Well... it took some trial and error... but I finally got a result I was happy with. The biggest problem was that the face from the cut-out was kind of weird to me. I wanted to make my own custom face.... and I am no artist. So... in the end, I ended up stamping eyes and a mouth for my little doll using Hero Art's stamp set. You'd think I could draw some eyes and a mouth... but no. They kept looking freaky & I didn't want to scare small children with my spooky nesting doll.

The polka dots are a stamp from Unity's January KOM. I LOVE Love LOVE these little dots! :) And... the cute sentiment is from Unity's soon-to-be-released 'Could I Be Any Cuter' set.
