For my second inspiration piece for the "Hot Summer Days" challenge over at Country View Challenges I have made a postcard. We all send postcards home to our families when we are on holiday, don't we ?
This card was one of my stack of gelli printed cards. These are fabulous but it is making me lazy... I grab them almost all the time now....
I added the bricks with a stencil and some modelling paste. The stamping on the background was done with stamps from a set by Crafty Individuals. I added an old postage stamp just for fun. The lizard is by Katzelkraft and I stamped him with VersaMark ink and used extra fine white embossing powder to heat emboss the image. I coloured it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I actually did two, one in orange and this one. I preferred this one. He was adhered with dimensional tape.
That was it ! Below are two detail photo's.
You have until the end of the month to play along with us. Please read the rules first ! You'll find them on the Country View Challenges blog. (Link up top)

ReplyDeleteWonderful card, Corrie! Love your stamped lizard and the colours of your "lazy" background (why not use former work?! You spent time ago when you created it!)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
