Cathy gave us a challenge to use our reinkers. I made this card yesterday. I was trying different coloring mediums on fabric. I used reinkers for this image. I found that chalks did work the best on fabric. I started by stamping the image with stazon..heat set it. With a fabric brush I applied the reinkers. I then ran it through an embossing folder. Added batting and a back piece of fabric and sewed lines. I then cut out a frame on the black paper and attached the image with sewing. Added a ribbon and brad. tfl

Now this is awesome. It combines two of may favorite crafts, stamping and sewing. What an exceptionally clever creation and one I want to try in the future. Thanks for the inspiration!

Linda, that is fabulous!! I've tried watercolour crayons on fabric, but not reinkers. You've got a gorgeous saturated look with them - I must try this some time.

Linda, what a beautiful card...and great way to combine two of your hobbies! The flower is beautifully done and the fabric, stitching and batting make it all the more special.
