A Fabric Project

Well, it has been another wild week with my DH back in the hospital again, (hopefully home today!), so thankfully I had my Stämpelkällan project made up in advance.


Today we are working with fabric, and this is definitely a new technique for me.  My mom gave me these linen napkins a number of years ago, and I bravely stamped them with this pretty Flower Corner (S14) and carefully coloured them with copic markers.  I'm very pleased with the result, so I'll be trying it again soon with another stamp.

If you are interested in giving this technique a try, be sure to check out the rest of my team's projects here.  Just remember to wash your fabric first to remove the sizing, and then heat set with your iron when finished.  Work lightly with your markers, as it will bleed outside the lines if you apply too much.

I hope you've enjoyed your visit, and maybe I've given you a nudge to try something new!
