Handmade Impression art ~ postcard

For Crafty recyclers to make an ATC or postcard using something recycled. It could be as simple as cutting a design in a potato, wine corks or foam. Or use a natural item like a leaf or flower to print the image unto your ATC or postcard. You even can use toys or think of anything you can make an impression off when dipped in stamp pad or (acrylic) paints.

I used:
- an empty washi tape roll;
- old bubble envelope;
- my finger;
- a star cut out of foam;
- the border of a flower cut out of foam.

I also used 3D paste ~ light blue (using a palette knife).




Medium used:

Avec acrylic paints
Cricut cut ~ dragonfly
magazine cut out ~ mushroom
Creative artist paste ~ light blue

My theme: Tribal

The swap description: Do you kick for Kandinsky? Mooon over Monet or Mycha? This swap will be for one ATC mimic of your favourite masterpiece. Create your ATC (vertical or horizontal).

I have no idea who these artist are ... so I went to see which art I like.

I do like original paintings as in African paintings or drawings, woodwork, beadwork, etc. Original and beautiful work! It is artwork I often see on internet. All kindness should go to the original artists. I guess, that goes way back in time! But still!!

The original painting ~ Vibrant Silhouettes in dance


Another beautiful painting ~ African art vintage Ethnic women
