Birthday card or greetings card - made with upycled textiles orange pink green

Botanical Arts and crafts inspired greeting card, upcycled from a leaf embroidered textile paired with tweed wool. Ideal for birthdays as well as many other special occasions. Blank inside for your message you could also use this vintage style card to send a hand written note - or frame it as a beautiful little picture. The embroidered textile is from a curtain sample book that I rescued and stopped from going to landfill. The fabric is beautiful - with intricate embroidery in silky threads in oranges, pink and green on a dark cream linen mix background with a pronounced weave. I used most of the sample piece to make one of my vintage style Christmas Stockings, but I had enough offcuts to make just a few cards. The green wool background is also salvaged - it's factory waste from a tailoring busness. I machined sewed the floral textile to the wool tweed using blanket stitch to catch stray fibres, with cotton quilt wadding sandwiched between them to give a more luxurious padding. I then straight stitched all the layers to the card, and hand frayed the wool to give even more texture. The card is premium white cardstock, and come with a matching white envelope.
