Okay... I'll be the first to admit that when I heard about Papertrey Ink coming out with felt I was very "meh" about it. I thought, "I'll never use felt... let alone BLACK felt. But what the heck, I'll get some... just for kicks."
Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE this stuff. It cuts SO nicely with Nestabilities! I put it to the test. :)
At first, I wanted to have those two smaller flowers AWAY from the larger one, but just ran out of room. I don't think this turned out half-bad. :)

And another shot of the front of the card:
Trust me when I say the felt looks SO MUCH richer in real life. :)
Thanks for looking and/or commenting! :)

Very cute card! Love the felt!
Isn't the felt just AWESOME?!!! I love your card Ted; I need to try the felt with some of my nesties!
Well, I love the layering here. I wouldn't have thought to do that. I have to see everything I do, all laid out. What I don't love is you convincing me I now need felt. Why am I so slow when it comes to these things?
*back to the cart I go*
Very pretty Ted! That color is so striking with the black felt and I love the way you used ribbon for the flower stems. Fabulous card! ♥♥ Kay
Ohhhh... Ted, you may have me hooked on felt!
I am so glad to hear it cuts well with nestabilities, another point in its favor. And I never would have thought to do the black felt as a floral border. Very cool Ted.
i love this card ted!! The felt is perfect and i love how you used the ribbon for the stems.
very pretty and graphic!!
Great job on the card ...... I knew you could come to the dark side on the felt issue!!!
Oh Ted why did I READ your post instead of just looking at the pretty pics and leaving a comment? I "felt" the same way about the felt - I'll never use it, especially black. Now I think I NEED it! I absolutely refuse to come to your blog anymore if you're going to just enable me all the time. Just kidding, I'll be back tom'w to see what else you've got.
I love the layout and design of your card! Perfect!
Well done! Love the look of the flowers with the black felt. I just returned home and my PTI order was here with the felt inside. Now to create! Thanks for your inspiration!
Mmm...felt...is it really that good?!?! You're really not helping my spending, y'know!
Running out of room on this creation has resulted in a great layout of flowers!

Your blog is a dangerous place for me to visit - to my wallet! Every time I do, I find something else that I "must have". Your felt card is great!
Isn't the felt divine! I got some too and agree that it cuts great with my nesties. Love the flowers and they're perfect just as they are!
Yes, the felt is gorgeous, and I'm really loving your ribbon "stems"(btw... "felt me up"? CRACKED me up!)
Ted, I just got the felt a couple of days ago. Your card is making me want to try it out now! I love how you used ribbon for the stems and then felt for the flower. Very clever! :)
Wow, Ted, love the creativeness of this card. I never would've thought of using it this way. I'll have to try it tonight!
