And
so I did. I decided to use paper instead of fabric for this months challenge. I had purchased a package of different colored tissue paper that bleeds color when water is applied. I tore off bits and pieces of the tissue in different colors, put it on watercolor paper, then added water with a brush. Here's a sample of the surface with the tissue paper on it. As expected, the colors bled onto the watercolor paper under it, so when the tissue paper dried, it came off and the paper underneath had lovely colors on it. This photo is just one I did, I actually did two different ones. When dry, I cut the watercolor paper into the size needed, 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches, then finished off the design with an added rectangle and strip of the watercolor paper which I attached by sewing them with the machine. Below is a photo of all the cards I made and will be trading. This was fun to do, a welcome change from always using fabric, and seems like I will do it again! What do you think?
thanks, Patty. It allows for a lot of creativity!

I hadn't seen the "before" pics on your cards! I love this! I love juicy, cool colors and now that I have the card in hand and seeing the "before" pics - I like it even more!
