Project Idea: Fabric Paint adds a New Dimension

February 15, 2020

I was so inspired by Marrilyn`s creative way of using fabric paint on existing Embroidery Designs that I tried it myself...

This is such a fun and super creative way to use your embroidery designs in yet another exciting way.

The Derwent INKTENSE blocks and pencils worked very well. As this was my very first paint project (since primary school)...many decades ago, I have to admit that is was so enjoyable and even relaxing.

Enjoy creating your very own Artwork by simply stitching out the outline designs (included in your download) and let the Creative Juices flow.

We look forward to see your Projects!

Happy Stitching ...and Painting Friends!
