| step 1-3 |
The hardest part of blog step-by-step's (that many of you have
said you like) is me remembering to stop and take a photo!
This was has three scraps of paper down before I remembered.
(* The upper scrap is a magazine page sanded)
 |
| step 4 & 5 |
More brown tissue, when I decided to make it a quasi-landscape.
 |
| step 6 - 11 |
I added a fuzzy photo of trees on mulberry paper, middle right.
Then added strips of torn text for more trees on right.
(*I am careful to use parts of the lettering, because it would be distracting to the design if you eye tried to read real words. )
 |
| step 12 |
Used a fine marker to suggest land, hills etc..
 |
| step 13 |
Finishing with one more black tree, and a larger line on the horizon.
I resisted adding a pop of color, because I liked the subtle colors.
 |
| address side |
As usual, I do a small collage on the address side.
Ready to stamp & mail.
(*I covered the address for the recipients privacy.)
Just another postcard.
Wishing you a Happy Monday!
Thanks for stopping by.

There is also A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet
must write, if he
is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
What one can be, one must be".
-Abraham Maslow, psychologist
(1 Apr 1908-1970)
How's that?
A smile for Monday ...
