Wanting to change up my cards this week I decided to create large cards using handmade paper (I have a large stash) and fabric scraps (I have a large stash). I trimmed the candles and the flames from fabric scraps. I embellished the flames with Derwent Inktense watercolours and then dried them between sheets of white paper using the iron. I used a bit of glue stick to keep them in place and then stitched all the way around using my sewing machine with a slim needle (#11) and thread that I did not have enough on the spool to really sew anything else. I added a border with the navy thread and then used watercolour to paint the edges of a white card to coordinate. I made another one with different colours which I have added below. Worked really well and will be making more of these!!
