ART FROM THE MAIN HOUSE: Sunday Postcard Art Challenge (02-14-16)

It has been a productive week for me (thank you for your patience and your comments) and this is one of my favorites.  It is my submission to the Sunday Postcard Art challenge--which is "Love Gives You Wings."

 To create my postcard, I cut a piece of scrap paper from my DCWV "Mariposa" stack to the required 4 x 6" size.  Next, I used a butterfly stamp from Finnabair's "Don't Forget to Fly" cling mount stamp set, masking off the body of the butterfly. Using my stamp positioner as a guide, I stamped "Mary" from Stampotique directly over the top of the butterfly wings and colored her with Copics. The sentiment is from the same Finnabair set as above.  I edged my postcard with a bit of Faded Jeans.  Lastly, I used Wink of Stella to add the shimmer and shine to the wings.

I hope you can find some time this week to join in on this fun challenge.  Details can be found here.  Thanks for visiting today and for taking a moment to leave a comment.  Both are important to me and appreciated!

 Cheers!

    Fabulous! Kay and such a clever idea to use finnabairs butterfly stamp to give Mary wings . Love the subtle touch of shimmer and shine too - a great contrast to Marys ragged look .

    Kay, how delightful your postcard is! That creepy cute character is so adorable with wings. I love there is just a hint of color and the daintiest glitz on her wings. She's perfect with nothing else on the card except the words. ADORE!
