Explore .....

 

Made a mail art postcard for this months Swap over on UK Stampers Forum ....

I used a Kraft card background and drew a line in black micron pen to enable me to line up the insects. 

The insects (Tim Holtz) were stamped on white card in black Versafine and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. They were then die-cut with the matching dies from Sizzix. They were applied as shown with adhesive to the card front.

I have used an AAll & Create leaf stamp to stamp in two shades of green Versafine Clair ink and highlighted with a black Posca pen.

I then used black Dymo tape and prepared four labels which were applied as shown. The word 'Explore' was stamped in Versafine black ink and highlighted with white Posca.

The card was then edged with black Archival ink and matted onto white card to leave a border.

The postcard will travel 'naked' through the postal system so it was sprayed with matte Acrylic sealet to protect it ......
