Fabric Christmas Cards

For the third year, I'm making a few fabric Christmas Cards to trade. They went out in the mail yesterday, but I kept this one. It's more like a postcard as it doesn't fold open. I covered some ecru fabric with a shimmery see through fabric before layering on the decorations. I picked up the striped ribbon at Michael's months ago while looking for "masculine" type goodies and barely used any. It seems to fit perfectly here, along with a bit of vintage lace and a little star shaped tree ornament. I made decorative envelopes for each card so that they look special on arrival in everyone's mailbox! I put my collection of fabric cards out as part of my Holiday decorating, they are all REALLY gorgeous.
