A Colourful Mardi Gras Postcard

OOh I love this 'Mardi Gras' theme from Sunday Postcard Art, the 'Bright Colour' theme from Crazy Amigo and the 'Shiny' theme from Wednesday Stamper. First I stamped onto glossy card using Teal Stazon with another mask stamp, this time from Dimension Fourth. I cut out the eyes and added two gold shiny cuttlebugged eyes for the top mask and straight gold shiny eyes for the bottom mask. Then the fun started. I dabbed pink and blue inks all over the card with a sponge, not cut and dry as this would have made it too smooth, then I sprayed with Delphinium and Fireburst Blue from Crafty Notions Colour Sprays. I left it overnight to dry not really knowing what colours it would end up but I love it now. I dabbed the same blue inks onto the stampboard, edged with gold pentouch and overstamped with a small mask stamp from Stamp Addicts. This was then covered with Crackle Glaze and again left and here is the final result.

Adirondack Chair

Here is a new challenge for me - Sunday Postcard Art asked for 'Chairs' this week so I had to use this lovely stamp from Joanna Sheen. Simply stamped in black Stazon onto a card with edges pre-trimmed for a change, and coloured using Lyra watercolours. I love the sentiment on this one too.
