CardMaker and Terial Arts Blog Hop

well, it is safe to say I had a blast creating my little autumn postcard and I also added a little giftie set(see below). I am luvin the aqua polka dotted fabric with the warm colors of the leaves...I think it really adds so much! I have used the gorgoeus fall leaves from the stamp market; I started off with white fabrics, stained them with tim holtz distress inks, I then sprayed them with the amazing terial arts fabric stabilizer....luv how this works and changes the fabric to be like paper! I then stamped the leaves onto the fabric and then die cut them out.....gorgoeus! I am luvin the look of the leaves against the aqua polka dots so I kept my postcard simple! The leaves I used for my fall giftie are below, check them out too! 

You should have come to me from the super amazing Niki and your next stop is the fabulous Gaylynn! 

If you want to start at the beginning of the hop head over to the CardMaker blog and be sure to head to the Terial Arts site to check out the amazing fabric stabilizer!
