How Remarkable



This is one of a monthly swap we do over on the UK Stampers Forum so why not join us and have a go?  Our March theme is an 'Open' one so anything goes.

I have crafted a bright (and rather pink !) postcard entitled 'You Are Remarkable'.




The stout card blank was first trimmed to 6 x 4 inches and this was covered with a piece of digi printed paper.




Other elements were stamped with Versafine and Distress Ink, whilst a label with the words, some trimmed out images, Washi tape, stickers and doodling with a fine Micron pen complete the design.

Some edging was done using cut'n'dry foam and tumbled glass Distress Ink.  These postcards are sent to the recipient without any extra protection, so the postcard was given a coat of matt acrylic spray lacquer to help it through the postal system.
