I especially like to recycle, re-use or re-purpose from around the house:
For this FUN postcard I used.
Again, I tried to lay it out to find a good design or at least see what "pleased my eye"!!!! I like things that are busy; it might be my ADHD coming out in me even after all this time. I like to have lots to look at and try and figure out how it was accomplished. It always makes me laugh when I start I have a vision of what my "right side up" will be but in the end that changes.
I used a recycled card from our junk mail! I applied layers of gesso; black on the one side and white on the writing side!
My embellishments are: slice of old unwanted book, leftover seam binding from my sewing days, paint chip card, purchased washi tape, cut tissue paper, and my absolute favourite - painted dryer sheet with added glitter!
I also added punch out flower shapes from some unwanted magazines, and painted orange bandage "paper" tape. My around the house stamps were soda pop bottle lid, a piece of corrugated cardboard from a hot coffee sleeve and the "not so pointy" end of an old paint brush to make the dots.
Yes, this was fun to make!!!
