Clarity Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes


It's been a while since I've entered a challenge, or blogged at all, for that matter, but here is my entry for Clarity Stamp challenge this month.


The theme this month is Anything Goes, so I have revisited some stamping and stitching, using some of my favourite stamps.

Firstly, some cotton was coloured with Distress Inks.



Then, interfacing was heat bonded onto the fabric.


A mock-up was prepared on some scrap paper of the stamping layout before stamping on the actual fabric.



Using Versafine ink, which works well on cotton, the fabric was stamped with some of the grasses stamps.


Once the ink was dry, some free machine stitching was added in a few different colours.


Finally, some hand embroidery was added.
