I used a piece of greyboard as the base and cut to 6 x 4 inches. I then cut a piece of white card and embossed through an embossing folder after inking one side with Versamark ink. I then heat embossed with clear embossing powder to form a resist and applied Distress inks direct to paper over the non-embossed words.
I then stamped a frame in Archival black several times and stamped a flower in red Stazon. The card was applied to the base and edged with dark blue Versamagic Chalk ink.
The postcard was then sprayed with matt acrylic sealer to protect through the post as it will travel 'naked' through the post to its recipient .....

The background (6 x 4) is made with spray inks on white card and I have used a set of PaperArtsy stamps with Distress Oxides to make the design. The words were stamped in black Archival ink. Some Posca pen in yellow and white was added.
The background has been mounted on greyboard for strength and edged with Krylon gold pen. It will travel to it's new owner naked through the post so I have teated with matt acrylic sealer to protect from the rigours of the postal service ......

Made a mailart postcard for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ....
The background is a Gelli print and this was bonded to a piece of re-cycled food packaging. I have decorated some of the circles to look like film reels and drew in some film around them with Posca pen.
The ladies stamps are by Crafty Individuals and these were stamped in Versafine black ink, heat embossed with clear embosing powder and punched out to 1 x 1 inch squares. They were left monochrome except for an edging with liquid mirror Chrome metallic pen before applying onto the card as shown.
The words were made from black Dymo tape and were also edged in the mirror chrome. Some dots in mirror Chrome were also applied to the corners of the card.
It needs to travel through the post naked so embellishments were stuck in place with lots of hi-tack glue so they don't get lost as they travel .....

I used a piece of background card made using Brusho powders. This was trimmed to size and stamped directly in Versamark ink the pheasant (AAll & Create) which was heat embossed with white embossing powder and was coloured with Acrylograph pens and edged with black Micron pen.
I then stamped the word (AAll & Create) directly on the card in Versafine black ink. I added some gold lines with Posca pen and also grounded the pheasant image. Some gold spatters were also added. The card was edged with black soot Distress Oxide and was then matted onto a piece of white card to add a border.
The postcard was then sprayed with matte acrylic sealer to protect it through the post as it will travel 'naked' through the mail ......

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 ......
I used re-cycled packaging for the base and also made a blue Gelli print for the background. I applied some die-cut flowers at the top kindly given to me by one of the Forum members (stamping with black Versafine ink and heat embossing some elements with clear embossing powder).
I added some background dotty stamping in green and blue Distress inks and drew in the stems and leaves for the flowers with black Posca pen adding some AAll & Create Washi tape words and a sticker from Tim Holtz, edging the card with blue Versamagic Chalk ink to finish.
I sprayed with matt acrylic lacquer to seal for travel through the post to its recipient ....

I have used a piece of re-cycled packaging as a base and a piece of white card as the background. I used Distress inks and brayered the background adding a waterspray to spread. Once dry I added some squares through a stencil which were edged with Inktense pencil and activated with a waterbrush. I then stamped inside the squares with a fossil stamp in sepia Archival and a leaf stamp in green Archival adding a little white Posca highlight..
I then added some watercolour pad spine waste with copper heat embossing as shown along with a few stencilled lines in red and brown.
The sentiment was added and edged with black Micron pen along two edges. I then finished by edging the card with brown Versamagic chalk ink. Thiswas treateed with a matt acrylic sealer as it will travel through the post 'naked' ......
I have also entered this into the Country View Crafts Challenge whose subject is 'Squares' ....

Made a postcard for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ...... this is the last swap of 2020 ....
I used a piece of re-cycled card packaging as the base and used a resist technique and stencil to make this. I then stamped the main image (AAll & Create) in Archival sepia ink. I then watercoloured the two fungi. I also stamped the 'Toadstool' word on kraft card in Versafine black ink and trimmed this out.
I then added some stamping in various colours of Distress Oxide ink, penwork with gold and Posca pens, Washi tape. Some circles have been added through a stencil, edged with Inktense pencil and shaded with a waterbrush.
I then added the 'Paper Doll' vintage image, the 'Toadstool' word and sepia Glossy Accents. The card was edged with pink Versamagic chalk ink.
I then sprayed the card with matt acrylic sealer as it will travel 'naked' through the post to its recipient.....

I used white card and made a background with acrylic paints and stamps (AAll & Create) with Versafine Clair inks and also stencilled some texture paste through a spotty stencil.
The turtle panel was die-cut, stamped and coloured with Distress Inks and white posca pen. The background was then layered onto re-cycled packaging and edged with red Versamagic chalk ink.
It will travel 'naked' through the post and I sprayed with matt acrylic sealer to protect whilst in transit.

I used white card and re-cycled packaging to make the postcard. I made a background with the Gelli plate and acrylic paints using a numbers stencil.
This was trimmed to 6 x 4 inches and I then stamped with various stamps using Distress Oxide and Versafine Clair inks.
I then a applied a die-cut (AALL & Create) which had been coloured with smooshed Distress Oxides and trimmed down into more than one elements. I added some highlights with a black Posca Pen before edging with Versafine chalk ink. I then stamped the 'MAKE ART' in Archival black ink.
Because the postcard travels 'naked' through the post I applied a quick spray with matt acrylic sealer to finish.
