Sassy

Do you like this atc? I had a lot of fun making it. The image (Mia from PID - Paper Imagery Designs) is transferred onto muslin using soft gel medium. I was excited the transfer worked so well. I cut the edges and frayed them. The background is cut from a piece of upholstery fabric I got from a friend a long time ago and I stamped the flourish (Quietfire Design) using gesso. I glued the image down with gel medium just enough to hold it in place, then I sewed along 2 edges using silver thread and doing a chain stitch. Along the other 2 edges I put down a rub-on border and also added a bit to the upper right corner. The velvet flower was picked up a while back from the clearance section of Walmart. The ribbon under the flower was white silk ribbon (Quietfire Design) and I colored it using Ranger color wash spray. "Sassy" was also on the Mia collage sheet, I cut it out, sponged on some ink and attached it.
