Fabric Postcards

I get very bored on Saturdays,whenever that happens i make my way to the art room ,thats what happened yesterday !I really love to make postcards,so throwing a load of already dyed fabric pieces and felts etc,I began to get ideas,I first made a stamp out of Fun Foam of some ferns,my hands dont like me putting pressure on them due to RA, so the ferns were simple and quick...... No 1 the poppies are a section taken from an oil painting i finished last year,I transfered the image onto fabric through my printer,then added black beads for the poppy centres,,first i stamped the ferns over the top with Luminere paint,which drys very quickly.I layered onto stiff Vilene,was really pleased with the outcome. The next was just a matter of arranging and designing what i had to hand,felts and fabric images beads etc..the afternoon just flew ! hope you like, I was pleased to fill another day creating something from nothing as it were :))

I love all three, I haven't thought to make some for ages but seeing your lovely cards think I will.
