I decided to go with a 6" x 4" postcard for this weeks Artful Times challenge. I made the background by spraying various inks and colour washes in shades of green onto a piece of card. I then took a piece of cling film, scrunched it up and sort of unravelled it a bit and stuck it over the top of the card for about 2 hours. Once it had dried I carefully peeled it off. I then randomly applied acrylic and eco friendly paint in no particular fashion. I stamped the image onto acetate using black stazon. I inked all the fabrics up in either green distress stains or spray inks. The green piece of twill in the middle is behind the acetate and has the word 'dream' on it. The side and bottom pieces were applied with the glue gun. The image was printed off, cut out and stuck on top of the acetate, so there are actually 3 layers to this postcard.
So please feel free to pop along and join in with us this week over at Artful Times.
