Trying to get a sufficient density of petals, I used the stencil on two layers of fabric. The dark fabric background kept the petals from being as bright as I was looking for, although I did get edges!
I added another layer of petals on a bright green fabric to use as background, and stitched down the petals along their centerlines to let the edges loose. I like the way the petals float off the edge of the postcard.
I can’t remember what I was thinking with the very dark green background fabric – it hasn’t worked the way I wanted it to for any of these options. I think I’ll try inks on white fabric next, and see what happens.
