This week at the Sunday Postcard Art challenge blog, the theme is VINTAGE GENTLEMEN. They are some of my favorite people for art.
I didn't take process photos as there wasn't much plan for this postcard. These were most of the supplies I used. He just surprisingly came together. I kept thinking this card was going to go to the trash along the way, then suddenly it just felt right.
I used the die to cut the upper left corner of the card then glued it over a dark paper to peek through the holes. I then stamped my vintage gentlemen. I put a mask over him and stamped the unreadable words behind him. I then added washi tapes, trimming them around him. Finally adding some shading around the image.
The correspondence side.
Happy Mail Day!
Your affinity for these vintage gentlemen really do make wonderful image cards. You have added so many details and it all adds to the allure of the story behind him. Love what you create dear. <3

ReplyDeleteAnother delightful postcard! All of your postcards are such fun, carrying the eye from one detail to another. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is another postcard masterpiece and I love seeing the ingredients.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to cut up washi tape letters and use them singly. I am fascinated by what you did with the corner and die, dies are a dark art to me, what you did is so effective and creative. Great work with the old-fashioned adverts too. Your card is all together perfect.
Quick, someone grab a mop...I'm drooling over here! Lol. This is yet again another amazing postcard!!! You know I love the vintage gentleman and he is looking super fly here ;)
