Just in case you're wondering - the "fabric" at the back is layers of threads trapped between water soluble film. This is then free machine embroidered to hold them all together. Once that's done, the film is dissolved revealing this organic looking textile.
Go and have a look at the challenge entries - there are some gorgeous ones.

Beautiful Carol, and I love the fabric.
That is so cool! Love that thread touch and the image is so serene in her shades of green! :)
I've not had chance to leave a comment in ages but have kept popping by.
Love your take on the Less is More and I think you have it mastered with this gorgeous card. Your sample of fabric is beautiful and I love the colours. Green (and shades thereof) is just about my favourite colour I think.

One of my favourite images, tho I haven't used her for a while because I find her a bit limiting in what I'm doing at the moment but you've done a great job there. Surprised to see you using AIs, though, he, he - not! Love greens myself - might just have to have a go... x
Love this card, Carol. The soluble fibre background is fantastic and I love the image too.
Ooooh green is my favourite colour too Carol so I might have to have a dabble in this one too!!

Love it!!! It's beautiful.
Brilliant card Carol ! Love that home made 'material' !
ooooo works really well. I find its good for the soul making these LIM cards. Think it must be all the white space that frees up your mind a little.
I DO like that Dream word...a perfect finishing touch. x

Love the way you've used the water-sol fabric you created :)
Gorgeous inky background and stamped image. Love the fabric, so dreamy! x
That stamp and piece of fabric are amazing!
I love that you have put that fine cloth behind this work...it adds something extra special.
Great card - love the alcohol ink background and those threads at the back look brilliant. Thanks for sharing the idea!!
Hi there Carol, This is beautiful, I have this stamp and I've been struggling to use it effectively, you've managed a brilliant card. Love the technique too:0) Gay x
