Hi you all, hope you have all recovered from all the excesses of Christmas and New Year, and are slowly getting back into a creative routine. I have been busy making postcards the past few days, using various techniques and everything I find in my 'bit box'. I am always trying to use up everything that's in it, but somehow it seems to refill itself every time - it must be those little elves at night, as I often find things there that I don't remember having seen before....
These have been made using old book pages, acrylic paint, various images and scraps, tissue tape, and some hand doodling.
The right card has been made using the waste from a TH die-cut, and placing some water-patterned paper behind it. I love the groovy, sparkly retro paper! The image on the left card is an advert from one of my old magazines from 1899.
The backs of the cards have all been covered in designer paper, and stamped with a postcard image, and with a quote.
As these cards are all rather crazy, I am linking up to Simon Says Stamp and Show Mad Hatter's Party, where 'anything goes'.
Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for coming by!
