For the Postcard, I was inspired by one of the other ladies (Lucy) who uses photos for her cards. These are photos that she has taken herself and have special memories. The photo I used was one I took at the North Shore on the island of Oahu. Then added some dimensional stickers. Simple but I like the way it turned out.
I borrowed a swirl embossing folder from my friend Paula, then used glue and glitter to trace over the raised swirls. Added some twine and shell sticker and a small trim punched with an art deco fan punch. Stamped Thinking of You (Stampin' Up!) on a coral pink card stock that I tore to distress the edge. Mounted this on some white handmade paper (purchased from Michael's) torn the edges of this as well.
The Mermaid: This I found as a coloring page (can't remember the website at the moment but will look) and printed her as a 5x7 picture. I then used metallic colored pencils to color the features. Her glitzy tail is covered by some turquoise glitter ribbon I found and had to have with this project in mind. I then used stickers of shells and pearls to add the embellishments. I love how she turned out.
These were such fun swaps to make and were well received by the other wonderfully talented ladies at Arthavencreationsandfriendships.
