I love answering your questions. If you ask them in the comment section, I have no way to answer you (if you haven't heard from me, that is why). If you use the "EMAIL ME" in the left column of this page, I will be able to respond to you. You can also use it if you want to be added to my newsletter. Laura

Second Beach Postcard

Here is the second 4 ¼ z 5 ½” postcard I designed for Alpha Stamps. And like the first I will be swapping it in the “Wish You Were Here” beach postcard swap.
I started by tearing and curling various pattern papers.  After gluing the papers to the postcard I inked the edges and using the same ink I added color to the patterned papers.  The embellishments are a combination of seashells, beads, beaded trim and images of shells and jewelry. 
On the back of the postcard I stamped it with bars of music.  Next, I added a mermaid cut from the “On the Boardwalk Collection” papers.  I embellished the card with more images of shells and jewelry, a piece of cheesecloth (inked) and a brass anchor.
