Three Green Cards

Happy Earth Day to All! Here are my three postcards that I created for this challenge. They're all made with:
fabric scraps that most normal people throw away
rescued/recycled upholstery fabric
painted batting
a green ribbon from an Amazon.com gift
a mesh plastic bag that used to have limes (it melted on the postcard above, you can see the remnants as a very cool grid-ish pattern on the left side) all on fusible batting scraps.

  I've really enjoyed seeing what everyone else created for this challenge.

Keep on recycling everyone!

Challenge Beginnings

Well I've finally gotten around to posting the photos of the beginning background for my postcard.  I had posted earlier about the construction of the background (see below) out of plastic tablecloth scraps that I make patterns from.  

I then stamped and embossed and stitched and inked until I was really unhappy with it. I thought it was ruined until I cut a 4x6 template and auditioned portions and found that I did like parts.  So they were trimmed.  

They will now be mounted to felt and embellished with hand painted wool roving.
