fabric and sewing

the borders are fabric strips that I sewed to the card. Used a border punch at the card edge.

May all your dreams take flight.

I like the way this butterfly turned out, I tried something different. I cut the butterfly out of watercolor paper, and zig-zagged the edges and the body. Used the fabric markers to color the rest. I sewed it to fabric and sewed the fabric to the card.

Oak leaf is cut out of felt, and blanket stitched to the fabric . A great guy card.

Bouquet and Butterfly

I traced the butterfly and flowers with black fabric marker and colored them in with the colored fabric markers.

The fabric is zig -zagged to the card.

lighthouse and flowers

I painted this lighthouse on cork board paper. Sewed it onto the card

The flowers are colored in with fabric markers. Zig-zagged the fabric onto the card.

I outlined the flowers using a black fabric marker.

I did color them in twice to get a more vibrant color.

Happy Birthday Card

I painted on fabric and sewed it to a brown CS panel , then zig-zagged the panel to the card
Happy birthday is stamped using staz-on ink.
Orange, yellow and burnt umber are the paint colors I used for the flowers.

one small change

Two more cards. The top card is fabric sown to the card and a smaller piece of fabric topstitched to it. Then I outlined that with 4 rows of stitches. The bottom card I used the embossed paper. added the brads to the image corners. The image is a stencil that I used the texture medium with. Added a ribbon to the card.

One small change in my studio, and what a difference. It's more inviting. Opened up the door view. Maybe that's what I like about it. Now I can sit on the futon and watch the birds outside without the desk blocking my view.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

This card I made for my father-in-law.
The oak leaf is cut out of felt and I attached it to the fabric with a blanket stitch.
The acorn is painted, I used texture medium for the cap of the acorn and then painted it.
I outlined the acorn with a black extra fine tip marker.
