I have a huge flower PUNCH, any punch will do as I am using 80gsm ordinary computer paper, it punches really well
I punched out 5 flowers, notice how the texture shows on the flowers, so all the silly scribbles that I did earlier have now provided a really nice effect.
I glued the flowers to another sheet of paper. This base paper needs to be really thin, even finer than 80gsm is a big help when transferring
I also produced another sheet using the green & burnt sienna crayons
After colouring, I screwed it into a ball, quite a few times
Then flattened it out, by hand. This gives a broken leaf vein type of image. Now it is all soft it wont go through a punch
So I hand cut leaf shapes. You could draw around a shape, but I have cut them freeform
I drew some stalks freehand from the flowers to ground them. Then glued the leaves on. Make sure that they look like they are growing. This is a very simple image. More advanced images can be constructed in this way.
Here is the image transferred to a cream 60% synthetic & 40% cotton fabric. It has small holes in it & could be used for cross stitch, hand embroidery, machine embroidery or quilting. It would make a lovely picture or book cover
All the details of how to transfer are on 3CS click this link, there is a FREE pdf file. Further instructions are available from my shop
or my ETSY shop
Back soon with more ideas
