I created this cool fabric postcard for a birthday swap on one of my lists. I started with a piece of
this fabric collage. The bunny lace comes off of a thrift store find which also had
these two bunnies embroidered in the corners. I added batting and a white backer and then machine stitched all the way around until I had stitched the whole surface finishing with a line in the center. I stitched a strip of pink plaid to the top of my bunny lace and fused it to the front of my postcard. I thought it would be cute to use the "some bunny cares" quote on the front so I decided to create a custom collage
button. You can check out how to make collage buttons by following
this link or clicking Tutorials above, scrolling down to the link and clicking on it. They are a very neat way to make a custom embellishment for your projects. The process is easy - I adhered a plastic circle die cut to a circle punchie of decorative paper on which I hand lettered the quote and punched two holes to make it a button once it was dry. I added a coordinating punchie of cardstock and stitched it to the front of my postcard using blue embroidery thread. I finished the outside edges of my fabric postcard using thin crochet thread in a variegated pink colour using the button hole stitch. Very happy with how it turned out!! Therese
