I started by covering the postcard
with various patterned paper and then inked the edges. Next, I added beach stickers and posters and
then stamped “Revel in the Sunshine” and “Ocean”. To add more dimension I added cording to the
lifesaver behind the woman. The image of
the woman is from Alpha
Stamps Beach Umbrellas collage sheet.
Lastly I add images of coral. For
dimension and sparkle I added glitter, mica flakes, microbeads and beads.
Back of the Postcard
The umbrellas on the back of
the postcard are paper drink umbrellas.
