Two Mixed-Media Post Cards

Hi everyone,

Whew. What a crazy past few weeks I've had here.  But, today I was able to work on some mixed-media post cards and it sure felt wonderful to push some paint around again!  Both of these cards were created on a 4"x6" piece of water color paper.  I picked up a couple of packs of watercolor paper from Target for around $3 and it's been working great to use as bases for ATC's (artist trading cards) and postcards.

I always put leftover paint, color sprays and modeling paste onto pieces of deli paper to use on other projects and that's what I used for these two cards.  It's a great way to make the most of your supplies and it's also fun to use pieces of paint covered deli paper as inspiration to start a new project.  It helps get rid of that "fear of a blank page".

You can watch me create these two cards here.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Take care,

Dianne

daily ramblings....2/27

snippets from my day....

I finished "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell at 1 a.m. 

and started "The Girl on the Train" by Paul Hawkins

while waiting in the school parking lot.  I always have 

at least 4 books going at the same time, I think. lol

I'm in an ATC swap group and we had a swap where

you mailed an envelope of goodies to someone and

then they had to create an ATC with what you were 

given.  Here's my first envelope of goodies.....

 I was able to make four ATC's from the goodies that I 

was given and did not add hardly any of my own embellishments.

I love challenges like this!

At The Art Journal Emporium we are having a post card

swap and I needed to make 10 post cards.  Since these will

be mailed, I decided to do magazine image collages and

finally started working on those this morning.

(Part One of me creating these 

post cards can be seen here.)

I took my post cards with me and worked on them while

my daughter was at dance.  Thank goodness the dance 

studio has tables so I can sit and work while I wait!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
