Sunday Postcard "Men"


The theme at Sunday Postcard is "Men". My main image is a stamp from Oxford Impressions. The frame was a golden cardboard frame which I first covered in one coat of clear Utee. That gave it the kind of mottled effect that in this case I wanted. I then coloured it with perfect pearls to create a kind of faux metal effect. The background was then stamped with various background stamps and coloured with dstress inks

  6. The frame looks like burnished coper. Hard to believe it is cardboard. This is a wonderful, artistic take on the challenge.
