Postcard swap


I entered a swap on Jennibelle's site (http://journalworkshops.ning.com/).  The first swap is a postcard swap.
I got the inspiration for mine from Tiffany on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcP5GvGuJM8&list=WL&index=1 and Jennibelle. I pretty much save my cardboard food boxes for journal covers and inserts and I used to make jewelry with them. Then I saw a video for postcards made from the boxes and I used that for my swap idea.

These pictures show the pre-postcard process
Smooshed face from magazine pages.

Basic layering with paint, paper, pen, stencil, stamps

The finished postcard.

I used acrylic paint, Inktense pencil, oil pastels and Sakura Gelly Roll pen on the snooshed face.I put a 4x6 sheet of mixed media paper on the reverse side and just need to add address lines. I may put a small design on it also or some washi tape. Other than that it is pretty much complete.
