Monochromatic Green Frigate Stamped on Cotton

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) I am here with another of my cards to challenge myself to use my existing stash, I am really enjoying the challenge :-) I used an old cotton sheet and stamped on it with Stazon inks, then cut round the stamped images. I coloured the stamped images with Promarkers which gave it a fuzzy look which I love :-)
The fabric was backed with fusible web to make it sturdier, then sewed around the edges with green cotton which matched the Papermania Chelsea green papers I wanted to use with my sewing machine.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Pile it on: Its a Stitch Up
Fussy and Fancy: Fabric of our lives
Crafty Creations Challenges: Around the World
The Lollipop Ladies: Gobstoppers and Monochromatic
Top Tip Tuesdays: Recycle It
Hooked on Crafts: Cards for Men
Incy Wincy Designs: Monochromatic Greens
The Pink Elephant: Monochromatic

Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments :-)

    Hi Elaine
    I remember this ship when you used it last time! It's fantastic! But what is even more fantastic, is stamping it on an old cotton cloth sheet and colouring it in. It looks stunning and make such an interesting card. I LOVE it xx
