Let's Face It Postcard



I have made my monthly postcard for February for the Swap over on the UK Stampers Forum Facebook Group.  This months title is 'Let's Face It'.

I cut a piece of white Card to 6 x 4 inches and stamped the Tim Holtz 'David' image in Versfine black ink.  I also stamped another as a mask and masked off the image.  The borders were then coloured with barn door Distress ink applied with cut'n'dry foam and this was overstamped with a text stamp in walnut Stain Distress Ink.  Some splashes of water were added and blotted with a paper towel.






I then used the negative mask and coloured the face image with antique linen Distress Ink, I then cut some apertures in the face mask and applied more walnut stain Distress Ink on a music stamp through the apertures.  The white of his eye was coloured with white Posca Marker.




I also stamped some keys as shown in black Versafine and used some self adhesive alphas to spell out 'David'.  I finally sprayed the card with matte acrylic varnish to protect the postcard through the post.
