GD Catered Crop VS DT Scrapbook Stamp Society/ATS

Happy Mid-Week!

Hope your week is good so far :)

I have the day off, and are planning to enjoy it at my craftdesk :)

The CC Challenge this week is all about FELT, and boy that was a tricky one!!!

But I suddently remembered some beautiful felt ornament borders I got from someone a loooooong time ago, and then the card was done in a moment :)

I've used a beautiful new image from Scrapbook Stamp Society/Addicted To Stamps for my card.

The image is called "Fairy Child - Forget Me Not", and it's designed by my favourite artist at SSS/ATS; Morgan Fitzsimons. 
The delightful image is coloured it with Promarkers and Prismacolor Premier Pencils, the beautiful papers are from Bildmålarna & Pion Design, and all the georgeous embellishments are from Wild Orchid Crafts :)
