look at my take on the fantastic cards that lique created for us. this is four of the set hooped up with very thin interfaceing with a sheet of plain copy paper laid on top and then white satin basted onto the whole the design was then sewn out and once removed from the hoop i fringed the edges, and trimed around the paper and interfaceing. A little colour was added and then finally small amounts of white glue was put into the corners of the back of the sewn design and then placed onto the single fold card stock. this is the first of 50 that will find there way into the hospice shop. many thanks to you for thinking of others lique

Annie your creativity and generosity are astounding! These are just the cutest cards. Well done! Hugs and *'s, Deb

A great job on these.

They are all lovely!!!

Beautiful job! Thank you, also, for sharing your trick with the wax crayons.

Annie, they are lovely.

oh annie they are delightful.....soozie

Annie great job. I'm sure they will sell well at the Hospice shop. Hugs Yvonne

very nice job

Brilliant Annie. I would never have thought of using wax crayons. These are on my to do list but not sure which year. Life is a bit busy at the moment

These are lovely. I hope the Hospice does well with selling them. Well done you!

Well All I can say is FANTASTIC. well done and thank you for telling us how to did it, I do so love the help each Cutie gives to others.

crayons used to add the colour are simply good quality childrens wax crayons. Just a very little preasure needed. I also use the crayons to dye cotton fabric (or any fabric that will stand the heat of the iron ). simply colour the fabric as desired and then press between kitchen paper towels till the wax is removed.

Great job Annie *

Annie they look marvellous!

hey there excellent Anne thanks to both of you hugs carolyn

Very nice indeed :) I am off to go and make some as well Thank you for sharing

They are beautiful with the watercolor look.

They look awesome. Maybe she used this little sponge for the fingertip? It is for scrapbooking but I'm sure it will work also with textilcolor.

You did fantastic in my view!!! Huga, Judy

Awesome. Very clever way to make cards.

They look very pretty with the added colour and the shiny satin. I made 30 so far, all for my own use I must admit. What sort of crayon/pencil/paint did you use for the colouring?
