It is hard to get a good scan of a piece when it has a lot of colors/texture that blends like this. I chose these colors because I knew she liked them and uses them a lot in her art. It is hard to read Happy Birthday, but I didn't want it to stand out from the background.
I can also count this as an example of one way to add texture to a piece of your work. February’s challenge for FAF is creating surface texture using different materials. I used rayon thread snippets, metallic threads and small fabric bits fused together and free motion stitched. Some gold foil was added and tulle was placed over the top; I used the built-in feather stitch on the machine to stitch the edge and then free motion stitched over the rest. Happy Birthday was stitched using the embroidery unit.

That looks great Micki especially when you enlarge it to see the texture and writing.
Great work! And I agree with Doreen that enlarged view is perfect for this piece.
Love the way the Happy Birthday is so subtle within the design :)
This is a really nice card - I love all of the texture and the subtle color changes. It's shows up very well in the enlarged photo.
A lovely card Micki, and the textures are perfect. I'm sure Mags is thrilled with it.
