This is my take on the picture of the chair. I wanted to use a technique called felting from a recent Split Coast Stampers Weekly Inkling. The tutorial is here. They have a great video that shows how to do the technique. I used some old race napkins I had laying around to match the black & white in the picture. I liked trying something new, but I have to say that it would have been a lot easier & faster to run the napkin through my Xyron instead of messing around with ironing the saran wrap. It takes a lot for me to find the ironing board, let alone use the iron. Anyway, when it is ironed on, it has the feel and look of printed felt.
I used a stamp from a Making Memories foam stamp set, Floral/Dingbat with Making Memories Buttercup paint. I've had this set of stamps for a while so it was good to finally use them.
I had the red snaps in my stash & they seemed to finish off the card. I had some problems placing the snaps until I remembered that there is a guide on my crop-a-dile to keep them all even from the edge of the paper.
I've really enjoyed this swap and all of the really creative ideas that have come through. I will miss it.
