Mixed Media Postcard

At the beginning of the year I took part in a Mixed Media swap in the KCUK group, I made a postcard and never got round to blogging it as it's very similar to a canvas that I'd made sometime last year.



I started by colouring the background with Gelatos.


Then I added some cotton and painted it with gesso.


I stencilled some flowers with modelling paste and some shapes with crackle paste.


I added some colour with Gelatos and sprayed with water.


I kept adding colour with gelatos and water.


I stamped some black script and splattered some white paint..


I stamped the butterflies and cut them out after I coloured them, The small butterflies are a Martha Stewart stamp and punch and the large butterfly is a Stampendous stamp and die. The quote is an Artistic Stamper stamp.

Below are some close ups of parts of the postcard.




Thank you for dropping by to take a look, have a lovely day.
xxx Hazel.
