it's monday once again AND a give away!

i am always amazed at how fast mondays seem to get here.  today, for stampotique, i created a postcard.  i used quite a few of my rubber stamps to create this.

first i used acrylic paints to paint on a piece of cardstock.  i used a portion of my steampunk border to stamp the top border and then colored it in with markers.  i cut a circle from scrap paper for the moon and placed it underneath the border.  i stamped my newly released caged bird over the moon and colored it in with watercolors and markers.  i stamped my just be you to the left side and colored it in with markers,  i also stamped the bird from that same stamp on to scrap paper, watercolored it, and cut it out to use as the third bird.  then i stamped the heart vine and used markers and gel pens to color it in.  i also made stems to connect the just be you stamp into the vine.  to finish it off i machine stitched around the postcard.

if you would like a chance to win this postcard please leave a comment. i will select someone at random to mail it to.  please make sure i have a way of contacting you should you be the luck winner.  i will draw a name on june 1st.  good luck!
