This month the theme at Postcard art swap was “red” so I created this postcard.

I used scraps of paper and painted cardstock that I adhered across the postcard base.
I edged the panel with black archival and then also distressed the top with some archival too to blend the background a little more.
Then I added the flower image (Alpaca Pals) which I stamped first onto the base and then also stamped and embossed onto the black cardstock and fussy cut out.
I added black wink of Stella to the flowers and called it done!
Simple and effective and a good use of scraps… think that’s three projects this month using scraps like this as a background.
Happy crafting!
