BF October ATCs: felt

The days go by so quickly - my ATCs for the swap on BF forum need to get to Ali by tomorrow, so these are now finished and will be in the post in a while.

The theme this month is 'felt', so I've used some die cut felt teddies - the die is one that I got with the QVC pink peril machine (cheat version of the old Sizzix) - got rid of the machine ages ago, but kept a few of the dies that came with it.

I inked the edges of the teddies with brushed corduroy distress ink, but the ink faded, so it is hardly visible. The features were drawn with copics. The backgrounds were stamped with this lovely Tim Holtz stamp, using brushed corduroy, which I then used to distress. Buttons, gem eyes and bows from stash.


These are also for these challenges:

Corrosive 86: 'get rid of the white' - the background card was white before I stamped and distressed
Cowgirl's Sunday: 'create your own background'
Craftalicious 10: 'anything goes'
Crafty pad 93: 'distressed or torn edges'
Stamptacular 81: 'no cards allowed'
Sundays with Crissy 10: 'buttons and bows'
Tuesday throwdown 22: 'anything goes'
Stampin' royalty 42: 'ribbons'
Meljen: 'anything goes'
Frosted designs: 'let's see your die cuts'
Stamping with the dragon 12: 'you got ink'
Sweet stampin' 48: 'ribbons'
365 cards day 236: 'Friday five'
Teddy stampers 22: 'open theme'
