Started off with a large piece of cardboard, the size was just bigger than A4 paper. Put the paint on the cardboard with a spong. Then print the cardboard on the material.
Cut out different sized circles and stick them down with masking tape. You can also do prints with the cardboard on top of the circles to block some areas out. Use different thickness of cardboard. I pressed down onto the cardboard while I was printing, so it gives some texture.
I put flowers onto a screen and printed them on the material.
The red patches are done with the rough side of a sponge. Put a little amount of paint on to the sponge and slide the sponge across gently.
Cut some flowers from the samples and stitched them onto the material using a embrodery machine (Zig-Zag stitch).
Draw the flower on the material lightly with a pencil, using the embroyery machine, stitch around the flower (Zig-Zag stitch).
Fill in the small circles by embroidering some lines close to each other. The lines stitched should make up a circle within the circle it self.
To fill some empty gaps cut out a smaller sized flower frome one of the samples and stitch it down using the same method as explained above.
