1. cut card stock or use blank postcard
2. On this postcard, I used a napkin as the background
I applied using soft gel medium
3. I decided instead of drawing I would use this
bird stencil I had. and used it like a stamp,
with black staz on ink
I then used these dollar store rubs, with a paint brush
and painted the bird, using a white gel pen, and
black pen to highlight
The final step was putting a couple of letters on it.
Tommorw I will show you how I made a transfer postcard

ReplyDeleteWONderful postcard! I hope you got my address in the swap!
ReplyDeleteThere's no doubt your postcard is so cool but I can't help but notice it's sitting on a very organized looking sorted box of cut out letters!! What a terrific idea...
ReplyDeleteIs it a tackle/fishing box or hardware sorting box thing? I never thought of using one quite this way... brilliant Lee!!
Fun to see your in progress.
