This challenge requires you to create a project using the color challenge and felt. Felt is a new medium used by paper crafters to add texture to projects. From basic backgrounds to ‘felt piecing’ to handmade flowers, there are so many felt design options. Projects can include color by using cardstock and/or patterned paper, instead of by coloring stamped images. Don’t forget that felt can be incorporated into other paper craft ideas, including scrapbook layouts, mini albums, and other altered art.
The main colors are highlighted in Polaroid inspired color swatches. Keep the colors of your project as close to the colors in the challenge image. Remember, colors can be incorporated into your project in more ways than cardstock.
*White/Cream may be used as an additional neutral color.
Don’t forget:
1. Use the colors in the Polaroid-inspired color swatches (featured in the image above) and
2. Use felt.

Oh goodness! Love these colors. Now to get some felt and get to work. I love love love what the design team has done…fabulous as always.
I am so super keen to participate, but checking out the “add your link” button, nothing happens. Anyone has this same problem? I tried earlier on and now the same thing too. Is there any other option? Or some kind soul whose computer button works who would help me upload my submission if I do complete one
? Thanks for checking it out.
Check out the instructions to see if any of those technicalities apply. I’m not sure why it isn’t working for you. We have an entry already posted, so it works!
