As I am currently leading the nomadic life in our caravan, my stash is a bit limited. I used Aspects of Design stamps as well as some that are so old, I cannot name the maker. I did manage to do a bit of embossing in a couple of the corners.
The background is coloured using blocks of distress inks, a selection of greens and blue.
Over at Linda's StudioL3 Week7 Grungy Monday is exploring Tim Holtz Distress Ink Colour Blocking.
So I am am showing my version of this technique there as well.
I don't normally send postcards, but I think this is a great idea and wonder what the postie will think of this one.
Thankyou for stopping by to take a look at my card and please forgive me if I don't call by to your blogs, as internet connections in caravan land are not always that good.
Oooo I was playing with that Stamp Man set too a few days ago for our bobsy :0) did you know its her 50th in June?
