Early Bird .....

A mailart postcard made for a monthly Swap over on UK Stampers Forum ......

I made this with a card base covered in a watercolour paper background coloured with Brushos.  I then used Dylusions stamps and stamped the birdy directly on the background with Archival black ink.

The image was coloured with Posca markers, which were also used to do the outline of the card.

The sentiment was stamped on white card, trimmed, adhered and coloured with Posca marker.  I sprayed the whole card with acrylic matt spray to seal as it will travel through the post 'naked' to it's recipient.
