Lavender is the theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art
I’ve made two postcards for this theme.
The first is for the color and shades of Lavender.
I used Distress Oxide Spray on 70lb heavy sketch paper. Then a rubber stamped image, a die cut alphabet, modeling paste through a stencil, the “hello” die cut, distress inks to darken the edges and Washi tape to trim.
My second postcard is my attempt at Lavender, the plant.
Again I used Oxide Spray on heavy sketch paper and again through a stencil. Die cuts are the plants cut from the heavy sketch paper and painted with watercolors. The bee is a rubber stamp and a strip of Washi tape at the bottom for ground.
Both cards were then glued to a 90lb mixed media paper for mailing stability.
These are the address side of these postcards.

ReplyDeleteI just won a salt and sea postcard so I wouldn't be lucky enough to win again...

These two postcards are glorious in their lavender-ness.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is so rich and the letters and numbers look like they are floating on the mysterious background. Nice little touch of gold with the lovely washi tape too.
The lavender plants are very pretty and the happy bee is a perfect addition along with the way you have used this interesting washi tape to make the ground.
Even the address side is lovely and you even have a purple pen to write with.
Very pretty Annie! I love e the lavender plant one ♡ I love lavender plants brought mine in for the winter, and managed to keep 1 alive (out of 4 lol)

ReplyDeleteHard to decide, they are both beautiful. Since I have to decided I would say the "hello" postcard. Thanks Annie!
