First, there was a bunch of rose flowers on our florabunda rosebush!!!! My hubby has the green thumb in this family. I like to take photographs and that is about it!!!
I had a chance to grab some petals that had fallen off in the wind. I put them on a release paper sheet, actually re-used the wrapper that our photocopy paper comes in at work. I often drag them home to use for art projects!! The girls at work think that I am odd, but that is okay with me!
I didn't wait for the petals to dry; I just applied gel medium on them right away. I think I used fluid matte medium to be exact. I coated one side and then the other. I did dry some others that I had picked and I will see how them are in a similar project. I think I rather like the petal this way since they are not exactly flat and creates visual texture.
You can see them on the right edge of the photo below. I just used more gel medium to apply them to the postcard.
So for this rest of the postcard I used:
- applied black gesso to a re-cycled junk mail postcard
- re-used a sewing pattern and seam binding from past projects
- bingo sheet
- paint colour swatch
- painted and glittered dryer sheet
- stamps made from around the house items
I also used one purchased lace patterned stamp that is in behind the sepia coloured dryer sheet. In addition, on the top left you can just see a piece of paper cut from a magazine of something looking like zebra's. The image was distressed so not much of the image is really left but just the right amount for this project.
Oh, I just wanted to mention that I got a nice comment from a woman out in the worldwide web! Nice comments are always great to receive. Who know that a woman from the U.S. would 1. find my blog and 2. take the time to comment!!! Thanks to all who do, I appreciate it!
