Tangled Garden meet Felt
Well, my project today doesn't use card but it does involve stamps and ink. I love the versatility of stamps and immediately new that the large flower would be great stamped onto felt. It gives a great impression as there are no fiddly bits to cut out.
I used Black Stazon and stamped twice then cut them out. The centers are lots of french knots stiched with three strands of embroidery thread. A brooch back is stitched to the back so that it can be moved from the hat to my jacket.
This photo gives a better view of the french knots.
We all have crafty things that we hang onto and feel they are to precious to use. I bought this fabric over two years ago and it fell into the strokable catergory. My first thought was to make a cushion but I decided the fabric was a good size for a bag.
I hope this post has inspired you to think about different ways of using your stamps.

Goodness me - brilliant & I love the bag with those flowers. The hat reminds me of the 1920s & I love your french knots for the centre - I just about know what a french knot is but that's it!!

Hi Debbie your flower is so pretty! Brilliant idea to stamp on fabric! I enjoy needlework too! Happy Sunday, Shirleyx
Having seen the bag in the flesh so to speak, the picture really don't do it justice. This is a clever project Debbie and I love it
