Stamping On Fabric Tutorial

Im not sure I can reeeally call this a tutorial but I wanted to share my recent discovery. I have seen a lot of people blogging about using modge podge and fabric and wondered if I could work with raw fabric. I'm happy to say YES you can! So no extra purchases needed. Get those fabric scraps out girls!

Step 1. Glue or sew the fabric to your card stock. TIP: If sewing, use a little snail to hold the fabric in place whilst you are sewing.

Step 2. Smooth out your fabric ensuring there are no bumps and stamp your design onto your fabric with basic black ink. There is no need to use fabric ink as this will not be going in the wash (we hope!!). TIP: I felt my sentiment was a little too light so I inked up my stamp and stamped again over the same place. This was easy to do as i was using clear acrylic stamps. Love those!

Next I stamped three little elephants and cut and mounted them on dimensionals to make him a little more 3D. I pleated some tiny ribbon and added the little sprinkles. I really love these. Sorry if I am getting boring and using them too much! ;-D

I used the CPS card sketch for my layout. Gotta love the fact that not only do the challenge sites help you make a fun card but you get the chance to win some blog candy at the same time!
