Autumn postcard

A postcard created with two stencils using Autumn colours. For the colours I've used Stampin' Up ink pads: Old Olive, Pumpkin pie and Really Rust. I added a quote on the postcard, which I got from the internet. The branches are embossed with Tim Holtz's distress embossing powder - vintage photo. Stencils: leaves branch from Dutch Doobadoo and Autumn tree from TCW.




Julie Nutting Prima Doll - Halloween #1

I am hosting swaps in which we use the Julie Nutting prima dolls. This is Olive, coloured with Copic markers; her shirt is cut out of the DCWV black paper stack. I added some ephemera I received from swappers, black lace ribbon, flowers, washi tape, rhine stones on her shoes and a rhine stone necklace. The spider web is from the Artfully sent cartridge and the fence is from the Artbooking cartridge. Her background with the moon, witch and Autumn leaves is patterned card stock.



 






PBP OCT Halloween or Fall?

I choose the Halloween theme, because I had this Halloween card stock. I added some stickers, an Autumn leave die cut, the flag with a sentiment from a Close To My Heart acrylix stamp set. The rhine stones are a finishing touch.

I choose the colours red and beige.The intricate cut and the flag cuts are from the Art Philosophy cartridge. The button is from card stock, cut with a button die from the Sizzix Sizzlits button die set. Group Card Sharks for Sue.

Swap-bot's 10th Anniversary Mail Art Swap

We have to send one piece of Swap-bot-themed mail art. It can be a postcard, letter, or parcel, but it MUST be decorated externally with a Swap-bot theme. Think blue and orange, postal mail images, Ernie the Envie. I choose to make an Ernie postcard. I cut the orange and blue pieces and adhered the pieces to the postcard. The face is from peachykeen stamps.

Mail art Challenge #15 ~ postcard

On piece of mail art including cherries. I recycled a greeting card to make a postcard. I made a wrong cut, but I adhered both pieces on card board (see the left side of the card) leaving a narrow space between both pieces. I cut out the phrase 'tada' from the Create a Critter cartridge. Cherries are cut out using the Artiste cartridge and as a finishing touch I added white accents on the cherries.


Color Series-Orange Handmade Postcard

Group: What's in your mailbox. The majority of your postcard must be orange. Postcard made with paper, die cuts and stickers that I received from swappers in the past. I've have to use that stuff:))
