This month's Rounds & Rectangles Swap is a "summer vacation" postcard. Hmmmmmm . . .
Luckily, I just received my monthly Hero Arts Club package featuring the dock and jumping swimmers.
After cutting the card stock to the correct size, I made a mask with the dock die cut. With the mask in place, I stamped the jellyfish stamp with VersaMark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. Using the school of fish stencil, I inked over the embossed design with VersaFine Clair using an ink finger dauber and heat set. I stamped the dock with VersaFine Clair, as well as the jumping swimmers, and quickly heat set it. A Copic marker was used to color the tops of the jellyfish. My message on the address side of the postcard was stamped "wish you were here" from the Hero Arts kit. To keep the image safe from the weather elements, I sprayed it with a varnish finish. It was adhered to the backside of the post card blank.
