i'm in a postcard challenge and the theme is "goddess of love". i have this new stamp of these circles that i'm using on everything recently. i stamped the circles with white craft ink on black card stock and when that dried i colored in the circles with souffle gel pens. i used a white souffle gel pen to journal goddess of love on the background and then after i stared at it a while i thought the bigger circles i left uncolored needed something so i added gel pen hearts in those areas. i stamped a little goddess doll image on heavy white cardstock and colored it in with prismacolor markers. i had a watercolor heart left over from my heart inchies that i felt was too light in color so i painted it with red acrylic paint which i then put in the the goddess's "circle of love".
i didn't like the little goddess didn't stick out so much once i glued her down so i machine stitched around her in gold thread as gold is definitely a goddess color. then i stitched around the edges in gold as well.

ReplyDeleteI like the explanation that goes with the card. It's always good to see/read the creative process at work.
ReplyDeleteOkay, when did your blog background change? Did I miss it or is it new today? I love it! It's so summery beachy to me.
ReplyDeleteI love you are sharing your processes with us. I figured you hand-colored this but wasn't sure. That is amazing work. So much detail and so much work. I may be slow but if I attempted so much detail it would take me a month. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you amaze me.
Great postcard Roc! I am loving the new blog background, how did you get that?
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Roc!
