Printed Fabric Bee Challenge: Forest Floor

This month’s Printed Fabric Bee’s queen Carol Eaton chose as our challenge “The Forest Floor.” We could choose whatever colors we wanted to use.

Here is the collection of giveaway fabric. See giveaway information below.

I started with a piece of fabric I had low immersion dyed with turquoise and orange.

Next I stenciled the fern leaves all over the piece. Usually I like to make my own stencils, but I had this fern one in my stash. I used SetaColor Opaque Sanguine #51.

I wanted to add some highlights, so I stamped a few more ferns on the fabric with Jacquard Lumiere Metallic Copper.

I love Jacquard Lumiere. They are just so pretty. I used them on that stole I made for Ange.

And here is the finished piece. I really thought about adding some spots of silver as I did in my practice pieces, but decided against it. I really liked the piece as it was.

And a close up.

Here is my giveaway 6 x 6 piece.

If you’d love to win this collection of 6 x 6 inch fabrics, just leave a comment on Carol’s blog or on the Printed Fabric Bee blog post. Deadline is March 15.  Once you have commented, stop by the other members’ blogs to see how they created their pieces. Good Luck!
