Fabric Postcards

I have just finished several creations for some Postcard swaps. The first card was for a swap of Mixed Media Collage fabric Postcards.

For these cards I made a fabric fusion paper using dress pattern tissue, floral napkin tops and muslin. I fused all together with matte medium. I stamped the phrase with Staz-On ink and added the silk flowers and beads.

The next cards were for a swap of Images stamped on fabric. I created the background fabric using Lumiere Paints sponged thru sequin waste.

For the stamped image, I used a stamnp of a bird that I had carved myself. I used Staz-On ink and then added the stamped phrase as well.

Fabric postcards are such fun to create as I am trying lots of new techniques and when I recieve cards in the mail, it really is exciting. I think that the postal workers enjoy it as well. Most cards go thru the mail as is, with a stamp on the back!

    Love the texture that the sequin waste produces. Where do you get it?
