Wednesday Stamper - Orange



I'm going for a hat trick this week, my last 2 weeks pieces have hit the sampler on Wednesday Stampers challenge blog. Their theme this week is 'orange'.

I swiped my white piece of material with pumpkin stazon ink and frayed the edges. I printed the image onto ink jet transparency film and lightly melted the edges with a candle flame. Using my 'new toy', I stitched the image onto the fabric, again I just stuck to a simple stitch, added the flower and the ribbon.



I then realised, in order for it to qualify for Wednesday Stamper, a stamped image has to be present, so I got out my new ArtJourney stamps and used the word 'precious' along the bottom. I stamped it in spiced marmalade distressed ink.
