Description

A flower design is created in fabric of various colours and patterns. This is mounted on a square deckle edge card and the outlines piped in gold fabric paint.

• Parchment cream single fold deckle edge greetings card 144mm (5.5in) square
• Three patterned fabrics in colours of your choice
• Double sided self-adhesive sheet
• Gold fabric dimensional paint

Method

Diagram 1

Diagram 2

You can use any fabric with a suitable colour and pattern.

Save diagrams 1 and 2 to a folder on your computer and then use a photoshop type program to make their size 144mm (5.5in) square. Print them out.

There are three different fabrics in this design. We have used dark pink for pieces 1, 2 and 6; light pink for pieces 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8; green for pieces A, B, C and D. Cut out a square of each fabric large enough to accommodate the pieces required by the design. Stick each piece on one side of a square of double-sided self-adhesive sheet.

Cut out the shapes on your printed version of diagram 2.

Using the paper shapes as a template cut out the shapes in the fabric you stuck to the double-sided self-adhesive sheet.

Assemble the shapes on your card using diagram 1 as a guide. Put down shapes 1 and 2 first, then 3 followed by 4 and 5. On the other flower put down shape 6 followed by 7 then 8.

When the flowers are complete outline the design with gold dimensional fabric paint. Also add leaf detail and stems with the paint.
