I was asked by one of my friends if I make cards using fabric. I certainly have used fabric many times to make cards so I indicated that I had. She asked if I would bring some along this week to our fabric sorting so she could take a look. With such short notice I managed this dozen cards using motifs trimmed from fabric. The leaves is from fabric I bought years ago to make cards and these were already trimmed ready to go!! I trimmed green and burgundy cardstock layers and stitched the fabric to them using neutral thread. I then distressed the edges of my small cards with TH Antique Linen ink and then adhered the large focal elements to them. The teapots/coffee pots were a similar process. These ones I had previously cut to make cards and were already adhered to white cardstock squares. I stitched them to black squares of cardstock. I added washi tape to the top and bottom of my cards and then adhered the large focal elements in centered in between. I was previously unsure how to proceed which is why they had been set aside. So glad to have them made up into cards. Therese
