If you saw an earlier post, here, I received some great stamps from Courtney and a lovely thank you note and pictures from Jan in the same day's mail. I wanted to get busy and send a thank you.
Within the huge stack of great stamps I found 3 cancelled Marvin Gay stamps. They had great colors, so I carefully peeled them off to use.
Then I put them on the kraft paper cards.
Since the stamp showed a red shirt, I started with red tissue paper.
I love exaggeration, so I started fitting his body to the size of the card.
I love junk mail so I played with shapes for pants and shoes.
Once I had junk mail for body & shoes, I drew arms and legs. Outlining finished the card.
I made a third card today. They are all similar butdifferent. They are fun to play with and imperfections are a bonus.
Just one. A 27-minute great video, here. When finished
you may feel like you've been on a great 1 day vacation.
Maybe save for when time allows you to watch and enjoy?
Smiles for Monday ...
