Next is my silk organza, that I painted with Dynaflow fabric paints, & the little green ginko leaf is from a rubbing I did with a Shiva Stick & my toothbrush holder in my bathroom.
After layering the silk on top of the paper layer I quilted it with Holoshimmer thread in a Copper color.
Last I layered on the Ginko piece, fininhed the edges with a dark green holoshimmer, & stamped the word "DREAM" in copper paint. I tried a little embossing powder on it to make stand out a little, but it wasn't very successful. It didn't stick very well to the silk & copper paint.

Pretty pretty.
At a guild dyeing workshop, one of the members saved her paper towels because she thought they were so pretty. I bet she never used hers though. How exactly did you do a rubbing with a paint stick and that ginko leaf? Did you spread the paint on the leaf and then press it? I haven't had much luck using the paint sticks like that, but perhaps there's something I don't know.
Great post card! I too love using my painted and dyed cleanup fabric scraps.
I get the same kind of teasing for saving all the selvedges from my fabrics. I just love those little color dots along the edge and sometimes the words are cool too. It all adds to the uniqueness of our work!
I saved some paper towels from my last dyeing adventure...I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but this presentation will go in the idea book. I really love these cards.
