Swap Due Date -21st April
Signup/withdraw date - none, but keep me informed.
Number of Cards - 3 for 3
Number of participants - Unlimited
Since I have been collecting ATCs I have received a few now with fabric and stitching incorporated, I think they look fantastic and I've decided I need an excuse to make a few of my own!
I would like us to make ATCs incorporating fabric and stitching. If you wish to add extra media on top that is ok but please keep any embellishments slim enough to keep postage costs down! Cards can be fabric with fusible interfacing or your stitched fabric designs can be mounted onto card. Just ensure they are sturdy enough to be ATCs and not just fabric alone. The top layer of your cards must be fabric, although you are free to draw/paint/print/stamp on top of this if you wish. Any questions/queries please let me know in the thread.
You could use counted cross stitch designs, hand stitching, machine sewing, or embroidery.
Feel free to use any other media in addition - for example you might paint a character on your fabric and give her an embroidered outfit. You could print a vintage image onto fabric and then embellish with stitching. Possibilities are endless.
I look forward to seeing creations, please post in the thread.
Please take time over your cards, I will be swapping effort for effort to the best of my ability and dependant on cards received.
Here is my first completed card-

I do enjoy doing sewn & fabric ATCs, but just want to keep an eye on my committments - will try to make cards before signing up. Also, you are in the UK, which always is an incentive for me!
