Fun with Fabric

This week the challenge at Moxie Fab World is to use fabric www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/05/fun-with-fabric-challenge.html. A big thanks to Trinh for telling me about the challenge as I love any excuse to play with fabric!

 

I stamped the large flower on some orange/ pink hand dyed fabric, layered it with wadding and a stiff backing and machine stitched over the image. The flower centre is a scrap of suede with the Woodgrain Circle stamped on it twice in different directions. I used more fabric on the sentiment panel and the bow on that is made from threads pulled from the frayed edges. I applied spiced marmalade and worn lipstick distress inks to a white card base so it would go with the fabric flower (which looks more orange/pink in real life). Please excuse the bad photo. When I took photos in the shade the flower looked totally flat but in the sun the colours look odd!
