This one is for normat and she picked "Old Country Roses" and specifically mentioned red and yellow.
I started with a sky looking batik fabric base. The grass is a fringed scrap that I happened to have out for another purpose. The fence is cardstock. I had thought fabric at first but didn't have any white #if you can believe that# but paper turned out to be better anyway. It was harder to sew on and got a little bit "distressed" but looks more like a fence and I didn't have to worry about stuff showing through it.
The flowers are done using silk ribbon embroidery. I have a small stash of this stuff from an old boyfriend's mother and came across it while rummaging in my cross stich bin for a different ATC. Once I saw it, the idea for this card sprang to my head and I could not be more pleased with the result.
