Marie ATC with A Fabric Background

The background of this piece is brocade fabric that I attached to chipboard.  There is so much gorgeous fabric particularly brocades, so if there is enough interest I’ll do a short tutorial on options for using fabric as a background.  I painted the brass decorative piece at the top and at the bottom with metallic paints and alcohol inks.  The pink roses were originally white.  I used alcohol ink to paint them.  If you touch just the edges of the petals the ink will soak slowly down the petal and you will get a gradation of color.
