Stamping on fabric

I made this card this morning, and am sneaking it on while the girls entertain our visitors LOL!!
It fits these challenges:

Just Magnolia - Lets Get Sentimental
Friday Sketcher - sketch
Basic Grey Challenges - Fabric
Bunny Zoe Crafts Monthly Challenge - Vintage

Now I have never stamped onto fabric before, but I saw that Chris had, so thought what the heck! One of my friend's is a keen needle pointer and we have often discussed stamping Tilda onto Aida and then cross stitching her ... colouring with copics is MUCH faster LOL! I stamp[ed her onto unbleached calico, cut her out and layered onto these BG Capella papers. The sentiment is from a Sweet pea sheet, and the flowers and brads from my stash.

Here's a closer look at the faric stamped image ... makes quite a vintagey card I think ... definitely going to have another go at this!


Better get back to cooking tea - roast chicken, sausages, roast potatoes, veggies and for pud homemade plum pud :)

Hi Cathy, beautiful card, I love the results of stamping on fabric, such a soft gently look - and it washes!!! - Tilda (on my T shirt) has been washed several times lol.
The choice of the Capella papers is just so perfect and lovely details.
Thanks for joining us at Basic Grey.
