Note to self: Finish cleaning studio!
Instead I made a couple of cards. I'm going to a bridal shower tomorrow and made a card for the bride-to-be. I first tried using a Jane Sassaman print. I really like it but decided the colors were too somber for shower. The pattern certainly isn't somber, but the color is. That will be for another occasion.
I found in my stash a pretty fabric by Amy Butler that seemed to be made for just such a use. (Isn't it nice when we have things in our stash that are absolutely perfect for a project? Isn't that the reason for the stash?)
I fused the fabric to a fusible interfacing--not sure if it's Timtex. The stitching and beading on the lovely fabric turned this into a very pretty picture, if I say so myself. I fused the back of the card to card stock, then used a blanket stitch to attach the whole thing to the pink card stock. A nice trim with a fancy rotary cutter blade, a message on the back and voila! Done.

This is lovely. Isn't it nice when things come together and you already have what you need? The beads are a nice touch too.
That is the perfect gift for a shower!
She is a lucky girl.
Nicely done! Have fun with Rose.
Well done, Ruth Anne...and have fun with Rose...don't tidy too much and she'll have more to work with. You know "genius at work".
There were a few beautiful cards made by some of the shower attendees, but mine was the only one in fabric.
What a great gift idea -- the bride-to-be must have loved this! You turned the "pretty" into the "beautiful" with your touches -- lovely!

Very cool!
