I colored the images with Copics and splattered the background with blue ink. That mat is a dark blue paper liberally sprinkled with silver sparkles. Two slits were cut at the top and bottom right side and a blue satin ribbon was introduced from the back and run around to the back of the mat to secure as an embellishment. I am a big fan of flat, easily & cheaply mailed cards - always looking for ways to add ribbon or embellishments that won't trigger the Post Office clerk wanting another stamp!
Create wildly and color with abandon!

ReplyDeleteFantastic vintage image card, Ginny! I love how you've layered the girl against the car. Your coloring is perfection (as usual!) and I especially like the colors you've chosen for her dress. Your ribbon idea is so clever, bravo! Like you, I'm a fan of flat, easy to mail cards.
