ATCs For All - Artist's choice - Fabric Frenzy 3

I found some adhesive material rectangles, they were such delightful designs and colours that I really had no choice but to enter into this swap.

I attached the first piece of material to the card and then realised that there wasn't much I could do with it except decorate.  I found some lace with large flowers, and some green lace flowers, so I cut out the lace and, using an inkpad, I coloured them red to match the background.  After attaching all the flowers I used some shiny thread to 'Blanket' stitch all round the edges of the card.

Before attaching the material to the next card, I pencilled some flowers  along the material.  I stitched the flowers with linen thread,not quite sure whether it needs anything more .....
I am still trying to make up the fabric frenzy cards, what to do for the third card I do not know ... 

....and I am running out of time ....

I visited a craft shop looking for some trimming to go on my bag when I spotted some small iron on motifs.

Perfect!!!

So I ironed the motif onto the fabric and then added a few discreet stitches to ensure the motif would stay attached.



I received the following cards:

I just love this needlefelting!  
Thank you ligilass.

This beautifully cross stitched vase with silky flowers was edged with a twisted wool border.

Thank you Merryth.

This card is a perfect treasure, a beautifully thought out card.
It is an RIP for a horse with a tiny tassel made from his tail.
I cry now just looking at it, wonderful.
Thank you rocknrobin.
