The Blank Page Muse Altered Postcard

Hi all

I am so ready for the beach!! It feels like ages since i have visited those sandy shores. Well i have an altered postcard to remind you of the sea and sand!!


Products used

The Blank Page Muse Tropical Dreams

Postcard
Card Stock
Black Ink Pad
MDF Shapes
Die-cuts
Scraps of Paper
Lime Green Acrylic Paint
Light Orange Acrylic Paint
Bright Yellow Acrylic Paint
Mist Sprays

Self Adhesive Gems



Start off by covering a postcard in gesso and leaving it to dry. 


Next paint over with lime green acrylic paint and then add bright yellow to the center.


Paint over with light orange and once the paint has dried, spray with mist inks.


Use texture stamps along the edges of the postcard and use archival safe ink so it doesn't smudge.


Tear up some paper scraps and then spray ink onto them. Next stamp over the top with a texture stamp.


Paint a mdf shape and then place all the pieces onto the postcard. 


Add dyed cheesecloth to the ship wheel. Stamp out a pair of flip flops onto card and colour them in before cutting them out and sticking them down. 
Decorate with die-cut pieces and gems  to finish of the project.
