For this month's PTI Blog Hop, the focus is on FELT!
I used the negative image leftover from cutting a cloud out using the new PTI large cloud die. I put some felt behind it, and "puffed" it through the opening (I will say this is cheapo felt that I had laying around, so it is a bit stiffer than I am sure the lovely PTI wool felt is!) I placed a few bits of tissue paper behind the felt, and then added another piece of cardstock behind the cloud piece for backing. All was adhered together with a heavy dose of double-sided permanent Scotch tape! It made this little rectangular cloud sandwich that wasn't even as "bulky" as I originally thought it would be.
Added the plane to the edge of the piece, some Hawaiian Shores cardstock as a base, and some October Afternoon decorative paper to finish my sky effect. Here's a shout out to PTI cardstock...even though this card is a little front heavy, it still stands up great! Funny, this little ditty must be my ode to the end of Lost, boo hoo. I will admit that this plane might lose it's tiny propeller if it travels someplace far away in an envelope!
I can't wait to see all of the wonderful uses for felt on the rest of the hop...thanks for flying by :)

Terrific card! All of the details - the felt cloud, the negative die cut, the plane flying off the edge of the card, the color scheme, the geometric background - all just perfect. I love everything about it!

I love this! Great idea and excellent way to position the plane off the card edge a bit.
This is so clever! I love it! Your colours and design are wonderful - it's gorgeous the way the plane is flying off the edge - it adds so much movement to the design - but that cloud is true cute-ness!! (Sorry to be hopping late this month :0)!
what a great idea! love the 'puffed' cloud! And your card is great- that pp is a perfect addition! :)
I like your fluffy cloud, how adorable!
Oooh! LOVE the puffy clous window!
