Love - ATC

I created this ATC using scraps from another card that went downhill when I tried to dress it up with glitter (which reminded me why I don't use glitter much). 

Thanks for stopping by!  TGIF.

Watercolor paper; vintage book text; heart stamp by Dina Wakley; love die-cut by Little Yellow Bicycle; festive berries, peacock feathers and wild honey distress inks; Stabilo black All Pencil; black cardstock; white acrylic paint; punchinella; Adirondack black acrylic paint dabber; Derwent light charcoal pencil; Stickles.

Love - Mail Art Postcard

Hello and Happy New Year!  I feel like I can still say that since this is my first post of 2015.  I really expected to be here earlier in the month with something, but I was unlucky enough to catch the flu.  To say that I've been under the weather is an understatement, so this post will be brief.

I created this postcard to send to my January mail art partner.  My inspiration came from a journal page sample in Dina Wakley's book Art Journal Freedom.  I really liked the red and turquoise color combination and this heart stamp which I've had for a while but haven't used much. 

I used my Janome Sew Mini to add the zigzag stitching.  This was a fun way to add a quick border and some texture to the card.  After adding my message to the back, I'm going to pop this into an envelope and send it on its way.  My partner lives overseas and I hope that sending it in an envelope will speed up its transit time.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day.
