I thought I should show what I mean by junk mail postcards. Here is one that I received in the mail last week. I can recycle them in the bin or I can use them in my art. And I am using an iTunes card to apply the first layer; gesso!
Here is the finished prototype in pink! Now I just need to check the internet and come up with some creative lettering for my message! I don't have enough of the deep pink ribbon so I will have to make do with blue.
In the photo below, I am stitching the ribbon to a piece of paper that has been painted a peach colour. As the photo above shows, I stamped this postcard using the same stamp but some different ink. This time I used Staz On ink pad. The Staz On ink will go on "anything" and it actually does STAY ON!!
The thread I am using is actually crochet cotton that I got at a charity shop. I think it works well.
