Less-delayed gratification

Fabric paint and freezer-paper stencil:

Less-delayed gratification

Yeah, I'm jumping around a lot. After unearthing so many forgotten treasures during my excavations over the holidays, I want to use them all...

Anyway, before it was a stencil, it was a felt applique:

I haven't fused it down to the painted batting/organza yet, because I haven't decided if hacked-out felt is the best option, and if so, how to stitch around/through it. I like the motif being raised above the surface.

It's slightly too big for a postcard (the stenciled bits could be postcards, I think), which leaves room for a scroll-y border. In six weeks or whenever I pick it back up.
