Hand made card

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
I made this card for a friend of mine who is hugely supportive of both of my professional lives.
I plan on seeing her tomorrow at a conference and giving it to her there. I hope she likes it.
I used a photo transfer of one of my own images and fused three borders. The outer border consists of some stripped piecing I had leftover from some current work.  I added heart shaped sequins and put pink beads in the center which when stitched keeps everything in place.  The inner and outer borders are satin stitched.

I used fabric I stamped and embellished with heat set Swarovski crystals for the back of the front page
The second page has a personal handwritten note, is free motion quilted and again embellished with the heat set crystals

the back is a piece of fabric I created last summer. It is a mixture of paints, stamping and one crystal.
