Sending a Visible Image postcard with love

 Hi there, it's time for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image.

I can also announce the news that Mark Alexander aka Mr Visible Image is back on Create and Craft TV this Thursday at 12.45pm UK time. Mark will have some fab new samples to demo and there will be lots of samples on the set from my teamies and myself. 

Today I am sharing a postcard. These are fun to make and even swap and measure 6" x 4", the size of a UK standard postcard. The stamps I used are all on the show. I worked with the love sentiment from

Equality, hope and love

and the gorgeous roses and barbed wire stamps from

Forever love

This is what I got up to;

I used a piece of shaving foam marbled card I made with my granddaughter using distress reinkers and sprays. This is a really old crafting technique (I did it as a child with food colouring) and there are lots of on line instructions and videos. I cut it to 6x4"

I stamped and embossed the love sentiment from  Equality, hope and love and then stamped the barbed wire using archival ink onto the left side. These would be my flower stalks.

and then the right.

I stamped several of the roses from  Forever love  (I only ended up using a few) onto red card using black ink and clear embossed them. I also cut out some of the centres of some more of the large roses to use for decoupaging.

I stamped and embossed the large rose onto the postcard using red embossing glitter

then I adhered the large rose. I decoupaged it with a couple of extra layers of petals. I added a small rose at the top of each barbed wire plant stalks. I finished off with some dewdrops of Glossy accents for extra shine, drippage (is that a word?!?) and dimension. 

Here is my finished postcard

with a close up of the decoupaged dewy rose

and a couple more photos.
