The reverse side looks interesting too - as do those holes I carefully embellished around (only kidding!!)
It is time again for a postcard for the Calendar Girl swap, and my partner this month is Doreen in Australia (who actually introduced me to Dale's Workshop) so I thought it apt to use a bit of my first piece in her postcard .....
The background is dressmaking pattern tissue pva'd to fabric then overlaid with cotton curtaining and painted to death! The leaves are fabric paper (a la Beryl Taylor) and the tulip shapes are the holes from the above embellished fabric. Click on the Calendar Girl Logo on the right of my Blog - you can then see all the beautiful cards the other ladies have made so far this year.Can't wait for Dale's Workshop to begin - will keep you posted!

I really like this card, it evokes autumn, my favourite time of year. Thank you so much for the hedgerow photos, there is nothing like wandering down memory lane. Now I just need to find someone with a camera in Cambridge to photograph the bank of the Cam opposite King's College in April!
I love how your pieces have worked out Val---imagine what you will do when you get your first lesson from Dale.
What a great piece to start with, Val, I love those burnt orange colours, from what I've seen of the other course you'll love it!
Wonderful card too and a very nice idea to use the technique for Doreen.
Hi Val, Dales course is great fun
Love your first try.
and the postcard for Doreen is lovely, Hope she likes the ATC i am just about to post to her as much.
