Prolific

Just a few weeks ago I decided to make and send postcards to friends and family during the period of self isolation.  Some of them have already been shared here but not all so this evening I am having a mop up post to share a lot not already seen.  All that is apart from the ones that went in the post without having their picture taken!

Starting with the Penny Black hens set.  As far as I am aware there are just 3 stamps in the set and it took me some time to get the third one.

I got back into blogging and sharing my creativity as I have also rejoined the Challenges for Days listing blog.

I'm entering all three into;

Sweet Stampin' Their theme is "Bright and Beautiful" (weekly)

AAA Birthday where the theme is "Things with Wings"  They might not be able to fly but they do have wings! (monthly)

Crafting Happiness where anything goes and the optional twist is "Birds" (weekly)

The next 3 are pleasant images that I enjoyed working with.  There is a mix of detail colouring and colour blending on these, and it is quite typical of me not to add a sentiment, before it went in the post a Thinking of you sentiment was added to the third one.

These next postcards are maybe a bit darker and abstract.   Still very me though, I collect masks and the Green Man would fit that collection.  Just picking out parts of the stamped image to colour on the 2nd one and then colour blending over it reflects my love of detail.  The third uses a pair of stamps that I think of as the women of power.

Entering the Green Man into

The Corrosive Challenge where anything goes (monthly)

This one is for Use Your Stuff and their theme "Flowers or Butterflies" (fortnightly)



Animal Friends who want us to feature "Insects". (monthly)

and

Allsorts whose theme this week is "Butterflies"

   

On some stamping and stencil work.  The first one used Tando stencils then a stamped flower behind the skulls "ear" lifted the whole thing.   The seahorses the first is a stamp the second a stencil with different colours of embossing paste.

It was the first time this stamp had been inked.  It has only been in my collection for a year, I got it at the Birmingham NEC March 2019.  This has to be entered therefore into NBUS where anything aways goes so long as you are using "Never Before Used Schtuff."

The folder on my computer has all the post cards in this post as from the last 30 to 24 days.  Of all the cards here on the stencil seahorse above and the monochrome bird postcard with wisteria at the bottom are the only ones that have not been sent out.

What they all have in common is size 6" x 4".  They are all one layer as they are intended for posting.  They each represent some aspect of my style.   There are more as yet un published but with so many here I've decided to keep them back for another day!

If you would like a post card, leave me a comment.  My comments are moderated and I will not publish any that are of a personal nature so please be assured of your privacy.  While we are all spending more time at home and the house is now spotless the garden looking trim why not make some postcards and send them to your friends and family? 

Take care, stay safe and Have Fun. x
