This gorgeous stamp was purchased from the fun ladies at the Colouricious booth during the Toronto Creative Festival. visit their website to see the amazing array of fabulous hand carved blocks they have available.
I began with this paper towel
To the stamp, I applied textile paint with a sponge and just began randomly placing the stamp, pressing lightly in some areas and harder in others.
A mat with a 4 x 6 opening helped decide what part of the printed paper towel I wanted to use
Finished postcard and close up. I simply stitched a tight little stipple to enhance the appearance of layered leaves

Jill, you always have such great creative ideas. Did you fuse the paper towel to Tintex or something similar? I'm surprised it didn't rip when you stitched it.
Jill - that fabric is great - and the card - well - you always give me ideas...and that can be BAD... I do love to see what you are up to :)
That is really a coincidence because I met the Colouricious ladies here in the UK on Sunday and bought two of their stamps. I love your postcard idea - one to stack up in the ideas bank.
Very cool and fun ! Thank you for sharing . . ..
Looks like a fairly quick little project but with a lot of impact. Thanks for showing us.
Great way of 'repurposing'!! Maybe you might have pushed me to do something with all my 'saved' towels. I hate throwing anything out!!!
So cool! I grabbed a paper towel to soak up excess marbling paint and now I know what to do with it! Thanks!
Another clever and beautiful creation! You always inspire me with your creativity. Love it!
Gorgeous!!!
Honestly! How do these ideas come to you?
You know when I look at your projects I can't help but thinking you'd make a terrific fabric designer. Think of your doodles printed over and over across fabric in different colors......
your freehand feathers printed across fabric.......breath taking!
I remember the cool dryer sheets you dyed and gave away too....that was so cool.
Happy Sewing
