Vintage Romance fabric ATC swap

This swap is hosted by my good friend Frieda Oxenham. When I saw that Frieda was hosting this swap via a post on her blog I wrote her immediately even though I was on vacation in Florida! Could I join in? There was room and I quickly produced 4 cards - 1 for the swap and 1 as a hostess gift. Frieda's are infinitely more romantic. . . . I had fun creating mine and hope they are well received. I would call my ATCs for this swap "Modern Vintage Romance" because while they use romantic vintage fabric images with a modern background.

These ATCs began as one piece that I fused together with timtex interfacing in the middle and cut apart into 4 ATCs. I did this while taking a workshop with Elin Waterston. After cutting out the 2.5 x 3.5 pieces, I added the Romantic fabric images from Alpha Stamps and stitched away to my heart's content on each one.

Thank you, Frieda!!
