I've always wanted to make postcard art, and what better time than the new year for trying something new! So I created this winter scene featuring stamps from Red Rubber Designs, and lots of embossing.
The background was done with a layer of white gesso, and colored with Lindy's Gang Sprays (Cafe Au Lait and Tiffany Blue), along with Squirt (Banff Blue). Then I splattered it with LG Spray (Frozen Jack Frost). The Snowflakes and snow were embossed with my new Emerald Creek Embossing Powders (Marshmallow and Blizzard), along with one of my older ones (Mirror Platinum).
The main image was stamped with a permanent blue ink, and embossed with LG (Clearly Clear) Embossing Powder using the Twinkle in the Eye Stamp.
Finally, I finished it up with some strips of "Let it Snow" ribbon, adhered over the Postage strip, embossed with Emerald Creek (Blizzard) Baked Texture.
Tuesday Throwdown ~ 448 Something New (2 new embossing powders and made postcard for first time)
