| A gesso over magazine trick. I really loved the image so I didn't alter it any, I just wanted that illustrated type look. It got a little wrinkled and the colors went wonky when I glued it to a postcard. I plan on hanging on to this one for a bit. It took a little more than an hour. |
 |
| A pink postcard I made for mail me some art. It's a really great site for homemade swaps! |
 |
| Even beautified the pack! |
 |
| A blue postcard for swap-bot. Basic collaging and some stamping. |
 |
| Teacups! Made by putting gesso over Japanese book pages and using crayola markers over it. I love the look this technique has. Anyone else do this type of work? |
 |
| A few pretty packages I sent this week. |
 |
| Probably the prettiest piece of mail I've ever sent! It's made from an old planner cover. The back of the planner had a little pouch, so I figured it would make an awesome envelope! Yay recycling! |
 |
| I hate just tossing old planners, but it can be tricky to new projects with them! |
 |
| It has been a busy week for rolos! I find that these suckers are faster to make than ATCs, for me at least. The one with a peacock does not have a home yet if anyone would like to set up a trade! |
 |
| My favorite one that I made! |
 |
| Second favorite! I'm trying to use up all of my security envelope paper! It's a daunting task! |
 |
| The prize for most random goes to.... |
 |
| "Let the spirit of the adventure set the tone" |
 |
| I have a whole stack of scrapbook paper that is just fancy lettering and words, but I'm having a tough time using it! This is one of the results... |
 |
| I need a caption or a quote! Any takers? |
 |
| APCs for a swap. I had fun making these by layer tissue papers and then just stamping over them. I think this works well when you have detailed stamps like these. The one on the top right corner is actually tracing paper over scrapbook paper. I stamped the main image and then stamped the other shape around the edges. Looking back I think I should have stamped the paper underneath and then stamped the main image on the tracing paper. |
 |
| Security envelope ATCs. As much as I love the patterns on security envelopes, I find that it is actually a bit difficult to find a proper use for them! I like the way the one on the right came out, I think its because the colors just coordinate so nicely. |
