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).
