I started with giving the printed fabric (french lit) a bit if a colour wah with permanent ink sticks. Copied Madeline from the internet and traced and painted the pics on to tissue paper. This was applied with dilute white glue. Other's use the commerical mediums. Next I found some french cancellation marks and enlarged and transfered one to washable stablizer. Then I went over it with my sewing machine. Thanks for looking. I outlined some of this on my site.
