Had a whole lot of fun with this card!! I received an art postcard from my aunt just after Christmas because she received my exchange gift on Christmas Day. She is an artist and this was a cool postcard made up from art of a friend of hers. I saved it because it was cool!! I have been sort of brainstorming how to best use it and today I figured it out!! I trimmed it to size and then embossed it with a gears embossing folder. Next, I sanded it which very quickly really gave it lots of texture!! I was going to colour wash it as well but in the end decided not to. I went looking for an image to use with it and found this paper in my serendipity stash which I thought would work pretty well so I trimmed it and stamped it with a light house (
Class Act ) and a birthday greeting (SU) in black ink. Very happy with that!! I lightly colour washed the image and the background of the greeting before tying on a short piece of twine with a double knot. I added a piece of torn vellum to my postcard background and then adhered it to a brown card front. I added my lighthouse focal element over it using 3D foam tape.
I really love how it worked out!!! Therese
