postcard alphabet


i'm doing an alphabet postcard swap. every week or two there is a new one to do. we are on "f" for the next one. there are so many words with f and i wasn't sure what i would do when i sat down to create this. i just started rumaging through my scrap box and created the background out of three different papers. then in my scrap pile i noticed a little sheet of words that i stamped flight on to. so i decided to do something with that as my postcard theme. i keep a little container of faces i either cut out of collage images or that i stamped and colored in
with markers. this way i always faces ready to go when i need one. this particular face was a collage image that was in black and white. i used my copic markers to color in the face. the wings were also a collage image i cut out, as was the little crown. i added the shadow in my favorite shadow making marker of all time - a tombow - and then i machine stitched around the image. i used my permopaque marker in brown to create the edging and then i double machine stitched around the edges.
