I started by stitching small scraps to a substrate of white cotton ensuring that all the pieces were secure. For the first card I stitched it to the handmade paper and added a stitched bow. For the second one I added short strips of yellow and green fabric folded in half about where they needed to be and stitched them into place on their bottom edges. I added a yellow strip to my collaged fabric square and then placed it over the bottom of the strips and stitched it into place. It created a very different kind of bow but still effective. I stitched a border all the way around each of these pieces. I added paper piercing lines to the top of the green one and then watercoloured white cards on their edges to coordinate with each of these large elements. A different look which I like!!! Therese
