Cards - Stitched on Fabric

I have been working on stitched cards for the Gallery.

The foundation layer is a piece of cotton.  I started with the mountains in coordinated fabrics then added the moon.

I added the foreground in mottled green strip of fabric then a piece of deep blue and a third piece of fabric which belong to the same fabric series as the mountains.

I added white sequins held with French Knots in the sky for stars.  Running stitch mostly with a bit of stick stitching on the deep blue strip.

Shimmery organza unto a half circle of ivory fabric in the same fabric series.

The fabric collage is stitch to the card front in a deep teal color. A half sheet white insert and envelope. 

I added a flannel foundation layer to the piece of hand dyed cotton fabric. Dyed with my sister a couple of weeks back.

The flowers base is a circle of cotton with long stitches in teal, magenta and light blue.

I colored the flower sequins with a yellow sharpie marker and put them in the center of the flower with a French Knot.  I added stems in green and a bit of dirt to ground them stitched in dark brown.

The fabric collage is stitched to the front of a Tempting Turquoise card base.

I added a half sheet white insert and white envelope.

I started the fabric collage with a piece of upholstery fabric which had organic shapes stitched in ivory thread.

I did running stitched across the background in medium blue thread.

I added French Knots on the heads of the ivory organic shapes with orange thread.

I then added a stick stitch daisy flower as a focal element.

I pinked the edges to halt unravelling.

I stitched it to the card front of a Groovy Guava card base.  Added a half sheet insert and white envelope.

I am repurposing the oil diffusers I made a couple of years ago which did not sell at the Christmas market.

I tack stitched the stitched piece to the top of a deep yellow textured card.  This is a bee with translucent wings. The edge is finished with blanket stitch.  

The diffuser drop is still on the back, so it can be removed from the card and used as a diffuser.

I added a Modern Label greeting in blue below the bee element with 3D foam tape.

I added a half sheet insert and white envelope.

I started with a piece of upholstery fabric with these embossed diamonds in it.

I followed the outline of the diamonds with stem stitch and running stitch which gives heavier and lighter outlines. The colors are pinks and purples.

I couched magenta yarn along the top and bottom edges.

The I couched white lace on the left and right hand side edges.  I added a bit of a flower focal element.

These One of a Kind cards are now in the Spruce Grove Art Gallery gift shop.  Check it out.
