Firstly, here's wishing you all a fab Bank Holiday Monday !!
Here is my first entry in the Lots To Do challenge blog for week 21, whose subject is........... yes you guessed it 'Mail Art'. I have had this stamp for absolutely ages and have never used it until now. It's massive and I do like it now I have brushed the cobwebs off it at last. Love the words as it's obviously taken from an original postcard !
The stamp was inked with Versafine onyx black and stamped onto white card. The card was simply coloured with cut'n'dry foam and Distress inks in old paper, antique linen and scattered straw using the Tim Holtz swirl mask to add a bit of contrast. I went over areas (ie the postage stamp) with a waterbrush which sort of bleached out the ink in an interesting way.
I then just highlighted the Post Card words with a red Marvey Le Plume II pen to finish.
