Here are B & C of my Alphabet Postcards for Lots to Do.
B is for Blue and for Birds – I used the blues (Distress inks Chipped Sapphire and Tumbled Glass) so that it fits into the Gingersnap Shades of Blue challenge. There’s also a little bit of Adirondack Slate on there, at the bottom ;) Stamps from Paperartsy and Time to Stamp. Large alphabet stamp from Ma Vinci's Reliquary.
C is for Clowns and also for Colour. I brayered Tutti Frutti Big and Juicy ink (not one of my usual favourites, I have to add, lol) onto the first background, which was watercolour paper, then stamped and embossed the Clown (Pierrot) and word stamps from Paperartsy and cut them out. The image is a bit ‘mottled’ because of the watercolour paper – it’s not easy to stamp. The second background was brayered with a Mesh roller on my trusty Fiskars Brayer, spritzed with water, then overstamped with the Harlequin stamp, which is a Jumbo rollagraph, taken off the wheel. Alphabet stamps from Hero Arts.

Two excellent Postcards, I especially love the blue with black combo on the Feathered Friends project. Very atmospheric. Px
Fabulous both of them love the feel of B wonder what those birds are concentrating on. Such a contrast at your C so much work and fabulous zingy colours. xx Zoe
Both are great but I like the second best.....just because the colours are very bold !!
Doh! Sorry Cath... I thought the POSTCARDS were for the KCUK swap. They must have overwhelmed me!!

Love the subtleness of the 'B' one and the brights of the 'C' xxxx
Love em Cath, must admit my fav is the blue one with the birds
Both cards are great Cath. I love the C for the colors and the B for the silhouettes. Lovely.
This is ideal for the Gingersnaps Creations colour challenge, thanks for joining us. Your piece sums up the challenge brillantly.
Great Postcards. Hmmmm, now I know where to look when I get stuck on the KCUK swap, lol xx
both wonderful postcards....it just seems the clown stamp by Paperartsy always brings out the bright colours and I love the colours youve used.
These are fantastic postcards! Thanks for taking the Gingersnaps Color challenge!
