Color Palette Challenge Project

I've finished my color palette project for the month! 

I took this palette

and pulled these fabrics. After staring at the fabrics for a while I decided that the multi-colored cloth reminded me of fish. That melded with the idea that I needed more fabric postcards.

Here's the result. I think they are quite cute.

First I fused the sea fabric to my postcard base and stitched some free motion waves with dark blue metallic thread.  Then I fused Mistyfuse to the backs of all of the fabrics, cut the shapes and fused them in place. A little top-stitching with another metallic thread and a serged edge and they were done! I played around with the outline color and I think I like this pink the best. They will be cute birthday and guest cards.

Are you working on a project for the challenge? Remember that you can enter your project into a drawing on the August 1st to win a set of hand dyed fat quarters from my shop.

I love the fabrics you used and the perfect design for them, love them.
I was wondering, the neighbor's cat figured out how to get to the birds under my porch and killed one. I haven't seen the mom come to feed the babies in days and they are chirping non stop. The nest is in a corner so goes up and then down, so I can't reach them and the one the cat got, had no feathers so they are very young. It is breaking my heart listening to them, still at it now, do I just let nature take over?

These are really adorable! Great fabrics, colors and designs. Perhaps I'm having a memory glitch but what are 'guest cards'?
