I created this postcard a little differently than usual, first I painted the background, then drew the design, used paint and white out, then I put a piece of vellum on top stitched around the edge, then I drew another design
on top of the velum and used white out again and red marker. I have done this before on a few postcards and am happy with the way it turned out. I got the idea from Jane Fazio. Its a really good way to jazz up a postcard.
