This week at the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, we are challenged to create a VINTAGE ROMANCE themed postcard.
I hadn't intended to play as the notice came up a bit late for me. But I was working on a birthday card and thought the background I made would work well for an art card.
I don't normally take process photos as I never know whether it will be a waste of my time. I took some this time since it was my second try at this background.
I started with these two scrapbook papers.
Then I die cut these two background pieces.
Then a tiny bit of stenciling and little bit of rubber stamping and gluing and ink tinting and I suddenly realized I had a vintage romance postcard.
I had to stamp the correspondence side with my vintage Private Mailing Card rubber stamp.
Happy Mail Day!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I have the same heart stamp collection, but not your ability to design a card. Love the Private Mailing Card stamp!

This is very welcome, Annie, a process post. I would rather like to see more of these. I always admire your art and now admire how you take these individual pieces and colours and put them together to make this super-vintage postcard. Ink tinting - oho - the way you have coloured the lady is so delicately done and the way you use colour is tremendous.
ReplyDeleteAnd now other mystery is solved - you have your very own postcard back stamp.
Ooooh lush and I'm sooooo happy we have the same set of stamps too.....I can be a little nearer in spirit to the great artiste called Annie that way ;)
