Black / white

I've recently joined Pinterest and have been wasting spending a bit of time looking for card inspiration online.   I've been struck by the number and variety of boards featuring fabric and home decor items, and have started to look around my own home with new eyes.

The other day I was wearing this skirt and wondered what would happen if I turned it into a card.

Well, this is the result - a couple of notecards:

Best wishes

Love the combination of pinks with blueberry sky.  Here is a card which features some die cut fabric flowers using PTI's beautiful blooms dies.

Adventures in fabric

I have lots of fabric scraps left over from various quilts I've made and thought it was about time I put some of them to use in card making. Of course, for a card you don't need much - a few centimetres will do the trick.

I had fun trying to cut the fabric with my PTI flower dies.  I found they work best with a piece of cardstock underneath the fabric to give a bit more stability.  However, still needed a few passes with my cuttlebug. I think these fabrics are some Amy Butler designs (sorry too long ago to remember!)
