Fabric or Felt

The Lily Pad have set a new challenge today to use "Felt or Fabric" on a card, I have been playing with this canvas fabric for a few days now, trying out various inks ready to make my Lavender Bags so this challenge came at the right time!!
After much experimenting with various inks I have found that Memento Dye based inks seem to leave a really crisp image.


As you can see I have used my favourite "Hydrangea" image from Hero Arts and the background is "Old Letter"  I added a few seed beads to the flower to give a little sparkle, the lace is all the way from France.  I picked up a few bits in the Antique Market in Nice and thought it finished the card perfectly. 
Just a quick post today.


P.S. My new blog header is inspired by my holiday!!

    I LOVE the new blog header! It's nice to have a change once in a while- I just changed mine recently too. This is super pretty, Sally! Love the addition of the seed beads for texture and the side stitching too :)
