I painted fusible web and fused it to white felt. I added some soy silk, silk throwsters waste, and cheesecloth over top and embellished. I added some snips of yarn, covered it with a light blue chiffon scarf, and embellished some more. Then I used my circle attachment for my Bernina and stitched circles all over. Finally, I cut it into postcards and satin stitched the edges.

It's fabulous. Love those circles too. Wish I had a 'Bernina' but it would hate me just like the machine I have now so it's probably good I don't have one :)

I would love to win this one. Love it.
I love the colours... it's really beautiful! Fingers firmly crossed!!
Pick me, pick me. Love the colors!!! :)
I haven't worked with soy silk yet, and haven't done a postcard either but would love to hold one in my hands to see how you finish everything.
Well, I don't know why because pink is my favorite color, but I really like the blue ATC on 9/6/08. Looks like 20 others feel the same way. All of your work is beautiful and shows some nice techniques. I haven't jumped in with my felter yet (and have had it over a year) but I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration! Sheree
The circles are so cool! I wonder if there's such an attachment for my Janome ... will have to check into it ...
Cheryl this is lovely ... I'm looking into one of those circle attachment feet for my machine ... look like lots of fun ... thanks for the chance to win it ... OOroo ... Bethel of Bethania
love your choice of color and using the circular embroidery attachement was a great way to embellish these little beauties
love the circles...
Love this little ATC ... it reminds me of the ripples you see after skipping stones across the surface of a quiet pond. Gorgeous work Cheryl.

The blue is my favorite color. Is this typical postcard size, 4x6 inches? So pretty!
