Tree Book -- Opening Page

I wanted to have some fun with the opening page of my tree book, so I divided everything up into quadrants (that and the baby wipes I was using were only so big and it took several to cover the area of the background so this prevented having to seam the baby wipes). The base fabric (black) is felt, while the background fabric for each of the rectangles was made of the coloured baby wipes left over from when I painted the Tyvek leaf page. I simply adhered the baby wipes to the felt using bondaweb then on top of that I fused some dye dryer sheets which self-adhere with iron heat.

The title is made using some chipboard letters (Scenic Route) out of my scrap supply stash which were sponged with acrylic paint, lightly adhered with some double-sided tape to keep them in place while I stitched them down with some gold thread.

The leaf is one of my left-overs from sign-in tags which I simply sewed on by machine, while the skeleton leaf is adhered with bondaweb (still hoping that the leaf makes it through the RR intact, although I have spares if needed). I also added a few acrylic and wooden beads that I felt worked with the theme and with the design.
