A Gem of a Challenge DT Card - Use Fabric or Felt

We have a new challenge for you, starting today at A Gem of a Challenge, this time our theme is "Use Fabric or Felt on Your Project, Ribbon and Lace are NOT Included". I used Flower Power Emma for my card, she reminds me of old photos of my Mum, taken in the 60s.  I've used my usual Promarkers to colour her, going for a red and brown colour scheme.

 I used some old SeeDees stamps for the sentiment, and to add the funky pattern round the edges of the topper, which I think adds to the 60s feel.  The patterned paper is Papermania, Forever Friends Black and Gold, again I think it has a 60s vibe and the colour is a perfect match.
For the fabric element, I used some hessian down the right hand side, I made an organza flower, melting the edges of the layers with a candle flame to pucker the petals and fastening together with a brad, and I die cut some leaves from my own, handmade, pure merino wool felt with Blue Face Leicester curls.  With the large topper and big flower, I didn't need any more embellishments.  I must get into the habit of making more DL cards, I really enjoyed making this one, it's a size I often overlook in favour of a 6x6 or 5x7, but the long, thin topper suited this size well.
