Here's my entry for the "Fabric" theme for PAT 16. I perhaps cheated a bit, as the card has fabric, but no sewing. I had intended a proper sewn card, but I couldn't find the foot pedal and power cord for my sewing machine, and the machine is pretty useless without it!
For this card, I collaged a couple of Mucha images onto watercolor paper (one image is printed on cardstock, the other on vellum) and then layered over that a piece of cream organza that I had puckered with heat. I added an eyelet (which I filled with a pearl brad, a bouquet of fabric lily of the valley (which I distressed) and a Tim Holtz metal corner. I love the images on this one, and I do think it looks better in person!

Thank you for making me such a wonderful piece. Lilly of the Valley is my birthday flower, I adore Mucha's work, and the whole thing is going to take a center stage position on my dresser. Love it!
