postcards

a few of you had asked for a video and i was hoping to deliver.....although my editing skills are not exactly tip-top (clearly.....as this part took a long, frustrating while)- so you can imagine how disappointed i am when i was hoping to share my video this morning and let you watch my process- but after watching my video when it was posted to youtube and it was not good and i had to pull it....sorry.

i will have to try again.

love the pink and mix of collage and stamps.

i used Roben-Marie's Artpops cards again as the base and worked over the top with collage, paint and my new Dream Thicket stamps. both the cards and stamps are available at Paperbag Studios.

two-for-tuesday (postcards)

i have been so enjoying using Roben-Marie's Artpops cards to create my own postcards. the Artpops cards provide a jumping off point instead of starting with a blank white card- if you were to look close- there are hints of the original card underneath my layers.

the rubber stamps used in each are part of the dream thicket stamps of mine available at Paperbag Studios by Roben-Marie.

two-for-tuesday....happy tuesday!

Postcards

i love the look of this edge....

working off of Roben-Marie's ArtPop cards as the base to make all of these postcards. the ArtPop cards and Dream Thicket stamps are both available here at PaperBag Studios.

 i used watercolor to tint the card pink and started with a man's face from a magazine; but, he was a bit too masculine still- even with his pink cheeks and lips- so i found the eyes and added those. 

not into strange creatures? how about abstracts?.....

maybe a fairy?

happy tuesday....
