I'M WEIRD BY FRAN CHALMERS

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the blog.  Today I have made a postcard with one of the great clown stamps that VLVS do!

First of all I stamped my main image onto thick paper, coloured with copics and fussy cut out.

Then onto my background.  I blended some Elements Inks onto a piece of card.  The colours were Lime Punch, Pine and Blue Lagoon.

For some interest and texture, I flicked water onto the card and dabbed dry, then I put some thin gesso through a harlequin stencil.  I then stamped some of the texture background stamps randomly in black ink.

I stamped onto some tartan paper I had so that the clown had something to "sit" on, then fussy cut it out.

I finished it off by adding my sentiment, and putting some white gel pen on the gesso to make it more 3D looking.

Hope you like it! See you next time :)

Hello!

I wanted to make unusual and colorful postcards with unusual and fancy stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps.

Carved Xs 1 1/4 x 2 1/2
Plate 1448
I'm Weird 1 x 1 3/4

I stamped various funny characters on white paper and cut them out.

And prepared backgrounds for postcards.

 I took the gray paper, dyed it with acrylic paints and sprays, and then made holes in them with a special paper die.

On the reverse side I also decorated the cards with stamps.

Good luck!
