So many possibilities with Flippin Out dies!

After cutting out the Papertrey Ink Flippin Out Dies using felt to make bedroom slippers,
I was thinking last night about another medium to cut using the dies... How about thin cork? I just happened to have some on hand - I got it at a local scrapbook shop called Impressive Ideas in Roswell GA while I was on vacation. I think they are my favorite medium yet for the flip flops!
I used a tutorial by (Sorry - I just can't find the link for the tutorial - I will keep searching to find it) to make the sunset, and got ideas from Debbie Olson here for the water and sand (although I don't have a copic airbrush - just tried using sponges) Hope you like it!

  2. Love both of these. How clever to use felt and cork. I need to try this. Also, your blending technique on the second card is really great. Such an interesting effect.
