I totally agree with you about the felt – so wonderful! Especially for a kids card, but I’m sure anyone would love your creation 10x more than the ones that are sold in the stores! Thanks for sharing your sweet card and thanks for Papertrey Ink for all the wonderful goodies that help make it fun to create!

Bethany S. says
Hello…just wondering if I actually have to go to a store and get a card there to play along. Can’t I already use a store-bought card I have and that I want to base my card design on? Thanks!
conil says
Really adorable. Like it better than the store-bought card.
Melissa Phillips says
Hi Bethany,
Of COURSE! So sorry for the confusion. Even just finding one on the internet is perfect. No need to spend money on a store bought card!
Thanks so much!

Love this video, and seeing other places for inspiration. Such a cute card, too! Really like all the textures.
I am wondering which Warm Gray Copic you are using for this card since there are a number of them. The Light Grape Copic is V95, Apricot is YR16, Putty is YG91, right?
Thanks for sharing your techniques!
Melissa Phillips says
It’s Warm Gray No.1.
Hope that helps a bit and thank you!

I definitely need to keep my felt out where I won’t forget about it. I don’t purchase cards, but I do keep some of the ones I receive if they are especially inspiring. Great video Melissa.

I love every little thing about that card – so much detail, but at the same time, it’s doable! It is much nicer than the store-bought card! I would love to see a video of every single card Melissa makes!

Great job Melis! So glad you have joined in on the MIM. Gotta go look for a card in my drawer of cards I never use because I make them and people expect those from me.
