This month at Postcard art swap group the theme was FACE. I made this postcard using Art By Marlene die cut for the focal image.
I decided to make my own background for the card using linen cardstock and distress stains for the base, and then lots and lots of stamping using stamps I bought in a sale recently from another crafty friend who was reducing her stash!
I then added washi tape and some strips of the Tim Holtz tissue collage paper.
Next I used modelling paste through a stencil. Love the puffy look this ended up with as I heated it with the heat gun.
Once it was dry I added the face and some strips which were from the top part of the body but I turned into little embellishments.
I doodled around the edges and added shading to the image so that I had some depth and felt part of the artwork. I also added glossy accents to the circles on the strips I added. Oh also some glossy accents on the heart on the face I think!
Finally I stamped the title sentiment and added that, again with a border and edging it so it felt part of the artwork.
I then mounted it onto the while postcard base I had made as I always like it to be at least 2 layers of cardstock for posting if I can.
Love how fun this turned out.
Happy crafting!
