Happy Victoria Day Monday to all my Canadian friends...this is my take on PTI's Make it (Holiday) Monday! LOL I love holiday Mondays because it usually means I have time to watch the MIM video first thing in the morning with coffee in my PJs. It's the little things, right? Today we are asked to make felt flowers. I literally said, "ouch," each time Lizzi squeezed those darling little petals with hot glue so I'm thinking she hadsa cooler hot glue gun than mine. I went for some spray adhesive instead :) I wanted a card that was fairly flat so I just layered the flowers like I do when using paper. These dies cut the felt like butter without any adjustments to my Big Shot. I did, however, use a metal shim for the melon berry layer on the biggest bloom just to make sure it cut all the way through. Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty felt flowers on your card Maureen!
I have never tried felt pieces on a card....they do look lovely! Would you share the name of the die for the large flower, please?
Maureen, I love your version of felt flowers, awesome idea!! Much safer than using the glue gun too!
So pretty! Hope you've enjoyed your day off! So fun to get a day to just create!
Love your flowers Maureen and I am with you on the hot glue gun!
Beautiful and Grand Botanicals goes to the top of my wish list! I don't own a glue gun due to previous "ouch" experiences so will be creating a flat floral too.
Such a lovely card Maureen! Your flat flowers are so pretty and look great against your print background! Had to laugh at your "ouch" comment...yes, I did say that a few times while gluing mine!
