Wish you were Here

I say it every fortnight but gosh doesn't it come round quick? You wowed us once again with your sentimental creations, making Mervi's job as tricky as ever :-)

For our next challenge at Craft Room Challenge, Hazel wants to see postcards inspired by summer holidays and travel. The postcards need to be 6 x 4 inches, and must be stand alone, ie not attached to another project like a card, or scrapbook LO.

I went all Parisian ;) for my creation.

Paris Postcard

This is a combination of techniques and combos of images and stash finds. I started with a 6 x 4 chipboard base, I then added Tim Holtz tissue paper and painted with acrylic paint . I then stamped some Parisian Franking marks ( you can't see them - they kinda got lost in the next processes ;) ).

I then embossed using one of the new embossing folders again from Tim Holtz.

I then added the collage elements, using some of the Crafty Individual images (our sponsor for this challenge) and a Marie image from my stash.

I then added the flowers and bits and bobs, and blended them all together with more paint.

Finally I added beeswax.

As I mentioned our sponsor for this challenge is Crafty Individuals.
