I joined an International Postcard Swap and so I made some Valentines! Here they are...
I was supposed to make 10 but made more they were so fun! I love Love and hearts and paint!
I got some heart punchinella from a friend at the Mixed Media Meetup I hold in the shop. I love it!
I used acrylics, stamps, brail paper ( from another woman in my mixed media group) and cut out magazine hearts. I liked putting the ink on the brail bumps. I had a great time decorating the envelopes as well because Shannon wanted us to protect them rather than send them as a postcard in the mail. I put a cute snail stamp on the other side where the real stamp would have gone. I also had a cute To: stamp that had a mailbox filled with Valentines.
I want to thank Shannon for having this swap! I loved it. I hope those that received them did too!

I also love comments! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Chandra, I received your postcard Valentine. Just love it. Especially love the swipe of gold paint and the stamped heart. Wish I were part of you mixed-media group so I could share paper and stuff. Also fun to view your blog. Very inspiring.

ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable piece of art! For me as a designer it is beyond my imagination how much work this must have been.
