No social distancing here, as these ladies step out in their Spring bonnets, stamped on this mixed media postcard!
I started by adhering torn strips of white tissue paper and napkins onto my postcard with Prima Marketing Soft Matte Gel. Then I embossed the floral border on the left, with Lindy's Gang (Clearly Clear) Embossing Powder, along with the flowers on the bonnets, after stamping the ladies with Ranger Archival (Jet Black) Ink.
The clear embossing appears once you add color, like the Lindy's Gang Sprays (Hottie Patottie Hot Pink, Tibetan Poppy Teal, and Urban Amethyst) that I used straight from the bottle with a paintbrush, to reveal the white background. I did about 3 to 4 coats, waiting for each to completely dry, before adding another.
The flowers along the bottom were made with white gesso applied to the Tim Holtz Mini Stencil (Bouquet from Set 47), and after painting, reapplied and embossed with Lindy's Gang (Purely White) Embossing Powder. I also used (Purely White) EP on the dimensional flowers that were layered and finished with pearl micro beads.
White lace was the finishing touch, added to the bottom of the skirt and dresses.
The colors came from the fantastic April Color Challenge at Lindy's Gang.
