Played with the rust fabric this morning, firstly trying it with black lace but the lace I have is too heavy to let much of the colour through. The patterns on the fabric reminded me of rock strata so I ironed the fabric on to fused?wadding ( the type with glue on each side) then layered black chiffon and machined lines to roughly follow the pattern on the fabric.
I then heated it with the hot air gun.

I then chose patterns to fill with hand stitching, fused it to heavy weight
vilene and sprayed the lower corner with Moon shadow mist burnished brass.

Then finished as a fabric postcard as usual. I still have enough left to make into an
ATC later this week. Unfortunately the photo does not pick up the gold thread or the
shiny paint.
The rust postcard is lovely Sue.
